I watched the Oct. 4 debate between Gov. Janet Mills and Paul LePage. I was appalled when he shouted that if he were governor he would have given $250 million from a state surplus to the gas and oil companies instead of giving the $850 rebate to the citizens. The gas and oil companies have […]

On Election Day the voters in New Gloucester have the opportunity to vote for a town charter. I encourage residents to vote yes on this important document. I encourage the good people to vote yes in part because of the budget process the Charter Commission established. That process begins with the development of the budget. […]

In his two terms in Congress, Rep. Jared Golden has staked out a position as a maverick. He doesn’t vote a straight party line, so whatever people’s political orientation, it’s likely they’ve disagreed with one or more of his votes. But there is, without question, a consistent theme to his work — he always tries […]

I enthusiastically support Hildie Lipson for state representative for District 91. Throughout her long career as a financial manager, Hildie has demonstrated the ability to address the state’s economic challenges and to understand and influence a state budget that serves Maine people. While this is her first foray into politics, she brings a wealth of […]

I recently received a mailer from a group in Florida urging me to thank my current representative to the Maine Legislature for his leadership in fighting for U.S. congressional term limits, an issue over which our state Legislature has no control.

The Biden Administration restricted domestic energy production. When Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine, Russia’s energy became more valuable; Putin and his oligarchs became richer.

Tiffany Estabrook, running for House District 75, is very active with Chesterville, serving as a selectperson for several years as well as helping the town to better its internet, which in my opinion is needed to keep up with the modern era. Tiffany is a wonderful, kind and just individual who puts the needs of […]

Maine ranks as one of the worst states in the U.S. for business. This needs to change. We need legislators who understand business and can work to improve the work climate here in Maine. That is why I’m voting for Greg Foster. With almost three decades of small business experience in our state, he understands […]

I have known Adam Lee for more than 10 years. In that time, I have known him as hardworking, bright, articulate, and dedicated to Auburn. He cares for the residents of Maine, he listens, he takes action. His dedication and work are evidenced by his time as a city councilor, certainly his legal career, and […]

As a Lewiston resident, I wholeheartedly support Peggy Rotundo’s candidacy for Maine Senate from District 21. Peggy is a compassionate listener and skillful consensus builder who knows how to solve problems. I am most grateful for her consistent attention to the economic needs of those who struggle most, especially older Mainers and those who are […]
