I am writing in support of Tammy Hoke’s campaign for House District 76 — Jay, Livermore Falls and Livermore. At a time when so much of our politics has become a slogan-based food fight, it is rare to encounter someone so entirely motivated by her desire to serve. Tammy Hoke has lived and worked in […]

Judy Cyr: Maine deserves a politician like Rep. Libby
I’m writing in support of Laurel Libby for state representative. Although Laurel does excellent work on policy decisions, the most important thing to me is her character. It’s unusual for a politician to be honest, and Laurel has proven herself to be that. She sincerely does her best for the people of Maine and her […]
John and Anne White: Campbell ‘a tireless advocate for our community’
People looking for a tireless advocate for our community need look no further than Dan Campbell. We should make government work for us, which is what Dan has the ability to do. We don’t need to list all the accolades Dan has received from this community, as they have been named many times before. From […]
Ronald Lebel: A Democrat’s support for Republican Libby
In November, Auburn/Minot voters will choose between Republican Laurel Libby and Democrat Dan Campbell for Legislature. As a Democrat, I will vote to reelect Laurel Libby. I like Dan Campbell and attended a dinner in his honor this year. But he supports Democrat policies I reject. On July 2, the state Democratic Party issued a […]
Timothy Carter: Vote Bryant for Senate District 19
I have known Senate District 19 candidate Bruce Bryant for more than 25 years. During that time, I have observed him work to make life better for Maine’s hardworking citizens. As a skilled legislator he sponsored and helped pass bills to benefit our economy, access to recreation and the environment. In the private sector he […]
Jaye Rich: Campbell’s ‘vision for Maine embraces progress’
I am thrilled to support Dan Campbell for state House seat 90. As an educator, I prioritize candidates who advocate for strong public education in Maine, and Mr. Campbell fits that description. A lifelong resident of Auburn, Campbell dedicated decades to the Auburn School Department. His work with students extended far beyond the classroom as […]
Rebecca Hennessey Legare: Clement offers experience, knowledge, dedication
About five years ago I met a man, a long-time police officer, who was running for Lewiston City Council. As we talked it became apparent, he was the real deal. He had a genuine interest in the city and wanted to make Lewiston better. I voted for him and watched him represent our ward over […]
Gene Geiger: Sen. King ‘knows and cares about Mainers’
Our company doors have always been open wide for politicians to talk with our Geiger employees, but no one ever has been more engaging than U.S. Sen. Angus King. He consistently took time for genuine and in-depth conversations with people about what they were doing and why. He asked, learned, and connected in his wonderful, […]
Lawrence Small: Mainers should know who Golden supports
If U.S. Rep. Jared Golden doesn’t realize that Maine voters know he’s trying to walk the fence, he’s selling us short. He won’t endorse the official democratic nominee for president. Who he votes for president is nobody’s business? (“Democrats try to balance diverging campaigns by Golden and Harris,” Aug. 17.) He’s not Jane Doe or […]
William Phillips: ‘America’s soul is at stake’
Some Sun Journal readers support a convicted felon for president. The paper still publishes columnists supportive of him. Yet he was the only president in 200 years, whose vice president refused to support him for a second term, whose communications director resigned and just spoke at the Democratic National Convention, whose attorney general denied his […]
