I am a retired Lewiston firefighter and lifelong Lewiston resident. I am voting for Peggy Rotundo for state Senate. I wasn’t surprised to learn that the Maine Chapter of the International Association of Fire Fighters just endorsed Peggy. During her time in the Legislature, Peggy made sure that we got the funding needed for Lewiston’s […]

A vote for Rep. Margaret Craven is a vote for Lewiston. Margaret has been dedicating her passion and energy for the issues facing the people of Lewiston. In these challenging times, she is always ready to listen and move forward with finding solutions. Margaret’s sons attended Lewiston public schools, and she supports local control through […]

In a few short weeks we will be headed to the polls for decisions that will effect not only our lives, but the lives of our children and grandchildren. Voters should do their research and look at the issues being brought to the forefront. (1) The privatization of Medicare and Social Security — we can’t […]

Having grown up on a farm in central Maine, I know how important it is to have strong advocates for our agricultural economy and rural communities in Augusta. That’s why I am proudly supporting Kathy Shaw for state representative in Maine District 88. As the co-owner and operator of a small farm in Auburn, Kathy […]

Bettyann Sheats demonstrated outstanding leadership while serving in the Legislature. She led on transportation and veterans’ issues, along with several other initiatives. Peggy Rotundo is a champion for Lewiston and the state of Maine. Her tireless efforts have resulted in improvements for education, health care and our community. Margaret Craven has experience advocating for people […]

After the unspeakable 2021 murders in Turner, a broad coalition of groups approached the Legislature to change the standard that law enforcement uses to bring someone to an emergency room for a mental health evaluation. Parents, NAMI, the psychiatrists’ association, ACT teams, county sheriffs and state police all lobbied to lower the standard from “Imminent […]

Election season is upon us again, and that means perennial candidate Eric Brakey is on the ballot. A self-described lover of “small government,” Brakey apparently thinks that a government-issued paycheck beats dancing in videos and sharing his thoughts about the writings of Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius on podcasts. If he’s elected, we can expect more […]

Our state representative, Sheila Lyman, voted against issues most important to Jay, Livermore Falls and Livermore. I am deeply disappointed. She is a retired teacher and claims to support education, but voted against laws that would have benefited students, parents and teachers. A dismal record. Other issues most important to her constituents besides education are […]

I write this letter in support of Mike Lajoie’s bid to be elected to the State House, representing District 96. I have worked with Mike many times, over the years. During my time as mayor, Mike was elected council president by his peers. On a weekly basis, Mike and I would meet to discuss policies […]

Bonny Bishop would make a good representative in House District 77. Everything Bonny has done in her life from her education, employment, military service — as well as her love of the Maine woods, lakes and mountains — qualifies her as a good steward. She has a passion for small business and for volunteering at […]
