I have one wish. It’s not unattainable. That wish is that all the people running for political office would take even a fraction of the money they spend on their political ads and political signs, and use it to build housing for the homeless. Do our politicians really believe that the endless political ads and […]

As a mom and lifelong resident of Oxford County, I’m supporting Neil McLean for district attorney for Androscoggin, Franklin and Oxford counties. Neil has many years of experience as a prosecutor. I know firsthand his commitment to keeping our community safe. I also know he is a father of four school-age children. I’ve heard him […]

I ask people to vote for Janet Mills for governor because I’m a retired public health nurse and saw what Paul LePage’s administration did to Maine’s public health system. LePage dismantled the system and hired people who weren’t public health experts. When I started working as a public health nurse there were over 50 nurses […]

I wonder if people saw the ad by the Republican Governor’s Association, suggesting Paul LePage understands economic hardship. In it, we hear how LePage survived a heartbreaking childhood; he was homeless, he understands. But if LePage understood the pain of poverty, why did so many Maine children and families suffer from food insecurity during his […]

I cannot support a political party whose leader refuses to concede the presidential election that he clearly lost. Aided by his co-conspirators, including some Republican congressmen, he pushed the lie that the election was stolen from him, while he himself conspired to steal it from American voters. He fosters the use of violence and intimidation […]

A vote I am proud and excited to make this fall will go to Peggy Rotundo, who is running for Maine Senate District 21. Her involvement and gentle approach are integral in this community. These attributes embody civility so needed in politics today. Specifically, her respected record of support for those suffering with Alzheimer’s, the […]

In her first term Rep. Sheila Lyman was the primary sponsor of not a single bill in the Legislature. This is the most important part of her job. Among the handful of bills Lyman co-sponsored, none became law. These bills largely addressed extreme, far-right priorities like limiting the free press (LD 923) and stripping transgender […]

I don’t know if I’m the only one who is tired of politicians who, after serving one or two terms, want a do-over. If they didn’t put enough money aside for later years, there are plenty of help wanted signs around for a job. We’ve had enough of Bruce Poliquin, Paul LePage, Eric Brakey and […]

Peggy Rotundo has always worked hard for the people of Lewiston, and if elected she would continue to do a super job as she’s proven in the past. She has all of us on her mind, and I would be proud to help her in any way I can. Peggy really cares about helping veterans […]

As November approaches, it’s great to see so many sharp looking blue and white “Eric Brakey for Maine Senate” signs appearing in yards. Supporters remember Eric was a unifier as a two-term Maine senator. Brakey understands that Mainers work hard for their money, so he worked to reform welfare and oppose corporate welfare giveaways. Brakey […]
