It is encouraging for residents of Auburn and Minot that Dan Campbell is running for state representative in the 90th District. He has earned accolades from the mayor of Auburn, the Auburn Business Association and former Gov. Jock McKernan for his numerous volunteer efforts over many years.

Michael Boom: How should God’s chosen people be defined?
Ishmael will forever and always be a thorn in the heel of his brother Isaac. Ishmael has built tunnels to ensure that Palestine has made its claims on God’s chosen refuge for his people; the Jewish race. Isaac has every right to claim the state of Israel, but Ishmael has every right to claim a […]
Judy Green: Theriault offers background, values to U.S. Congress
I’m writing to express my support for state Rep. Austin Theriault, who is running for U.S. Congress in Maine’s 2nd Congressional District. Austin is a former NASCAR driver who has already represented Maine well on the national stage. He comes from a Franco-American Aroostook County logging and trucking family, and he has his own racing […]
In rebuttal: Glenn Chateauvert: In Biden vs. Trump, these numbers matter
This is in response to Ellen Field’s letter (“Republicans vs. Democrats on handling the economy,” April 17). Her letter talks about economic growth and gross domestic product numbers under Republican vs Democrat administrations. I offer some numbers that really matter. Under former President Trump I was paying $1.79 a gallon for gasoline. Under President Biden, […]
Faith Barker: Campell offers work ethic, compassion, dedication to state House
I am writing to express my wholehearted endorsement of Dan Campbell for House District 90. This office is a natural sequence for Dan, as he has always had an unwavering commitment to improving the lives of our residents through his service in the community. He is well known to the many students he has counseled […]
Lawrence Small: Fining homeless people would be a bad idea
Homelessness is a serious problem all over the country. Trying to manage it must be a monumental task, to say the least. I just read an Associated Press article in the April 21 paper (“Supreme Court justices to hear major case on U.S. homelessness“) that said the court would be deciding if homeless people should […]
Brittany Hemond: Rep. Libby ‘advocates for personal responsibility’
In Maine, we depend upon our small businesses. That’s why we need to get rid of the cumbersome laws that are handicapping business owners today. Governmental overreach has us suffering from unintended consequences of the laws passed in Augusta. A prosperous economy has a cascading effect. Everyone benefits. As a small business owner, I believe […]
William LaRochelle: Trump is ‘a clear and present danger to the whole free world’
Cassidy Hutchinson, former White House aide for Donald Trump, who testified against him at the hearings of the United States House Select Committee on the Jan. 6, 2021, attack, recently stated: “Policy is important, but, especially in this period in American history, character takes (precedence) over policy positions.” Now ponder this evil advice the infamous […]
Susan Fesenmaier: ‘Let’s put our energy toward solutions, not lies’
I decided to check out Truth Social, and I wondered how anyone could believe the stuff posted on there. I know there are many things happening in this world that I know nothing about. But believing what comes out of Donald Trump’s mouth is a no-brainer. He is a bully who often makes things up […]
Randy Hotham: Martin a high-caliber candidate for state Senate
Senate District 19, represented by Lisa Keim, is losing its senator to term limits. The longtime chairperson of the Oxford County Republican Party, a man who has dedicated years to helping elect conservative Republican candidates to office, has finally put his hat in the ring. Joe Martin has accomplished so much in business during his […]
