Kathy Shaw would make an excellent representative for state House District 88. She is hardworking, collaborative, and a great listener. She is highly engaged and involved in all aspects of the community, offering creative solutions to some of the toughest challenges we are facing. Kathy is highly respected amongst her peers and the citizens of […]

For 16 years, the citizens of Lewiston were blessed to have Peggy Rotundo representing them in Augusta, first as a member of the Senate and then the House of Representatives. After taking a well-earned break, she is now prepared to resume her hard work in the Legislature as a candidate for the Senate. A strong […]

I write in rebuttal to Deborah Diltz (“Letter’s insults, attacks on Trump ‘unworthy of publication’,” Aug. 28). She resents people calling Donald Trump a “dangerous imposter,” “buffoon,” “boorish foe” and “menace.” She ignores the fact that he is a twice-impeached self-admitted adulterer, compulsive liar and grifter. Did Trump put America first when his minions attacked […]

I enthusiastically support Kristen Cloutier for House District 60 (formerly 94). She’s a strong leader working for Lewiston families. An example of Kristen’s leadership is her sponsorship of the Family Caregiver Grant Program (LD 296). This program provides tax credits for families who care for sick loved ones. It supports eldercare and assists families with […]

Take it from a Vietnam veteran who’s lived in this state for over 70 years: we haven’t had a representative who can deliver for Maine veterans like Jared Golden in a long time. He takes the time to listen to his fellow veterans, understands the issues we’re dealing with because he’s one of us, and […]

“We the People by the People for the People” was the basis for the forming of our country. We must elect people who will help the people. Rep. Margaret Craven supports a government that is transparent and works to that end. She is responsive to her constituents and answers their questions and concerns truthfully. She […]

I urge Lewiston voters to send Peggy Rotundo back to the Maine Senate in November. She chaired the Appropriations Committee in the past and consistently found ways to bring differing parties together on important issues. For years, Peggy worked at the Harward Center at Bates College. The center gets students involved with agencies and nonprofits, […]

The brief excerpts on the NBC Today show, taken from President Biden’s speech the evening of Sept. 1, was enough for me. The anger, the raised fist and rants about attacks on democracy was over the top, not to mention the red backdrop more mindful of a speech from the Kremlin. No administration prior to […]

I found it ironic that Deborah Diltz complained about “insults and attacks” toward Donald Trump (“Letter’s insults, attacks on Trump ‘unworthy of publication’,” Aug. 28). Is Ms. Diltz unaware that Trump routinely dishes out insults (“Crooked Hillary,” “Crazy Bernie,” calling women “dogs”) and constantly attacks others: (media is “the enemy of the people,” female Congress […]

I support Rep. Margaret Craven wholeheartedly to continue as Lewiston’s state representative. Margaret has served in the Maine Legislature for several years representing constituents like me. She has made remarkable progress passing bills that help Mainers. Under the leadership of Gov. Janet Mills, Margaret has been working day and night. I have found Margaret to […]
