Bettyann Sheats and Eric Brakey both spent four years in the Maine Legislature. Sheats enjoys solving problems with practical solutions to conflicting needs. We expect this because of her engineering background, small business ownership, and community volunteering. She’s served in the military, raised a family in Maine, goes door-to-door to ask for our vote. Brakey […]

Ben Weisner for state representative is the fresh face we need in Augusta. Ben is an independent who puts people before politics. As a business owner, he knows the problems that face small business owners. He promotes economic growth and would fight inflation by finding ways to reduce costs of fuel, groceries, electricity and heating […]

I encourage the voters of Poland and Mechanic Falls to vote for my husband, David Boyer, for House District 87. David considers every issue before making a decision and understands the stakes are high. What used to be families deciding to skip a planned vacation or dinner out at a restaurant are now families deciding […]

As inflation makes it more expensive to fill our gas tanks and grocery carts, Eric Brakey would work to restore the value of our paychecks. As our state senator, Brakey would bring down the cost of living, suspending taxes of life necessities — like heating oil. Brakey would reform welfare, getting able-bodied adults back to […]

It’s obvious that we have some crime problems. It’s also obvious that staying the course in our current law enforcement and prosecution methods will do nothing to solve them. Ed Rabasco knows that and has a plan. That’s why he’s the best choice for district attorney. His plan to implement policies to reduce prison recidivism […]

Bettyann Sheats is a candidate for Maine Senate who has always taken an interest in education. When her children were at Fairview Elementary in Auburn, Bettyann was a parent volunteer on the PTO for numerous years. She will listen to our educators and parents alike, because her practice is to build consensus. When Bettyann sat […]

I’ve known Eric Brakey since he was a young man, working on the Ron Paul presidential campaign a decade ago. Even then he was an excellent leader who listened and collaborated with everyone to achieve results. During his two terms in the Maine Senate, I was proud to know someone was representing me to defend […]

Bettyann Sheats is a respected and effective legislator as well as an involved community member. As the former head of Children’s Services at the Auburn Public Library, I had the occasion to work with Bettyann to connect our elderly veterans with cards created by the children in our community. Bettyann was easy to work with, […]

When I learned that Peggy Rotundo was running for the Maine Senate, I danced a jig. Peggy is one of our state’s most celebrated and effective public servants because she meets people where they are, listens to their needs, and then works relentlessly to address those needs. In today’s hyper-polarized world, Peggy’s proven ability to […]
