I am very disappointed in Sen. Susan Collins’ choice to support Brett Kavanaugh. I am beyond disappointed with her attempts to justify her decision. The senator said that she decided that Christine Blasey Ford was credible, but must be mistaken in who assaulted her. The senator chose to believe a man who has every reason […]

Maine needs people in government who understand the lessons of life experience, comprehend the full spectrum of Maine living and who work to find the best solutions. Maine schools are cultural centers of rural communities. Funding quality education is a […]

Claxton an outstanding person
In the contentious political atmosphere that exists at present, it is difficult to find candidates who exemplify honesty, trustworthiness, empathy and bipartisanship. I have found that Ned Claxton is a candidate who displays all of those traits. Claxton is a man of integrity. He will listen, deliberate and find solutions. He will work across the […]
