Joe Voisine: Candidate attack ads seem neverending
It never seems to end, come election time, the money spent on television by “special interests” to get people’s votes on the candidates of their choice. Some of these attack ads are by political action committees that so often get people elected by fabricating untruth. Imagine if all of the nonsense that goes on in […]
Catherine Newell: Golden continues tradition of independence, bipartisanship
In the current world of partisan bickering, it is refreshing to see a congressman like Jared Golden. His calm demeanor and thoughtful approach in representing Maine’s District 2 is something we need more of in Washington. Even though I may disagree with some of his votes, I certainly appreciate the time he takes in explaining […]

Jennifer Cooper: Rabasco offers new ideas, approaches as tri-county DA
I write in support of Ed Rabasco for district attorney. I have known Ed for many years. I can say that he is honest, smart, and a real leader. People respect his opinion and rely upon his good advice. He can take complicated situations and figure out what is the best course. When he tells […]
Robert Macdonald: Local politicians haven’t accomplished enough
Our local politicians are nice people. Peggy Rotundo, Margaret Craven, Michel Lajoie and Jared Golden have represented our city for years. Look around Lewiston. Can people tell me what they’ve accomplished? We’ve seen a rise in crime, drugs, homelessness and housing projects. Portland has used Lewiston as a storage space to house their overflow of […]
Bridgette Spencer: Government shouldn’t take over Maine’s power lines
It’s hunting season in Maine. And, as a Central Maine Power employee, I am proud that CMP land is open for Maine recreation. In fact, right now, Versant and CMP both allow access along thousands of miles of their power lines across the state. These corridors are open to all sorts of recreational activities like […]
Neil Duggan: Grateful for LifeFlight’s essential service
Years ago, I wrote a letter to the editor about LifeFlight helicopters flying over our house at all hours of the day and night (“A life-saving service,” Aug. 1, 2015). We live on the top of Oak Hill in South Monmouth, which is equidistant from the Lewiston Central Maine Medical Center helipad and the highway […]
Leigh Albert: Maine peoples’ voices, needs at heart of Rep. Cloutier’s work
It is with great pleasure and pride that I support Kristen Cloutier for election to the Maine House of Representatives, District 94. I am privileged to know Kristen as a long-time colleague, dedicated public servant, fellow working mom, and proud Lewiston resident. In all aspects of her life, Kristen leads with authenticity, care, and […]
Judy Head: Rep. Craven provides ‘a forceful voice’ for Lewiston people
I am pleased that Margaret Craven is again willing to represent Lewiston’s District 93 in the Maine State Legislature. Margaret’s tireless energy, broad experience and wholehearted dedication would continue to provide a forceful voice for the people of Lewiston. Margaret’s commitment to service comes from a deep sense of caring. She has sponsored or supported […]
