I hope that the voters in Maine will join me in voting Yes on Question 1 in November. I have first-hand experience taking care of a disabled loved-one, and I know how hard the toll can be on families. For almost two years, I have been living with and taking care of my best friend. […]

Jared Golden is a better choice
Who does Bruce Poliquin work for? When I received his recent mailing, touting his 2018 Guardian of Seniors Award, I thought, “Great, Mr. Poliquin is working for me” — until I looked into the nature of the sponsoring organization, the Sixty Plus Association. The Sixty Plus Association is all about privatizing Social Security and shrinking […]

Turcotte a great role model
I would like to congratulate Randy Whitehouse on an outstanding article about Jared Turcotte (Sept. 15). Whitehouse did a great job capturing Turcotte’s story. The primary reason I am writing, however, is to congratulate Turcotte. I don’t know him personally, only of his exploits on the football field, but his story is a great one. […]

Poliquin supports right to bear arms
I support Bruce Poliquin for Congress for many reasons, but I am writing this letter as a gun owner. The Maine Constitution states, “Every citizen has a right to keep and bear arms and this right shall never be questioned.” Mainers have a long tradition of being safe and responsible gun owners. Maine needs to […]

Golden will be outstanding
Jared Golden was born, raised and lives in Maine District 2. He will make an outstanding U.S. Representative for the people. He is hard-working, honest, caring, patriotic and a leader who will put the people first, not special interests. Golden has worked across the aisle in Augusta and will continue this practice in Washington, D.C. […]

Be informed, don't be fooled
The blue wave is already here in the form of political signs. The Republican hopefuls are hiding behind the color blue, believing voters will be fooled. A big blue sign with a tiny red stripe screams Republican to me. Gov. LePage stated that voters don’t really understand what they vote for, so he needs to […]

Would like to see Question 1 pass
In Vietnam, I was Rat Six — the leader of the First Infantry Division Tunnel Rats. Among the many lessons I learned in the Army was the importance of taking care of one another; and I learned how recovery happens best at home. I am supporting Question 1 in November because it would provide universal […]

Nutting is my choice for District 75
I am a family medicine physician who lives in Turner. I support John Nutting for Maine House District 75 (Leeds, Turner and Livermore). As a physician, I believe Nutting’s position that people are entitled to affordable health insurance makes him the best choice for my district. The people of Maine have voted to expand MaineCare, […]

Janet Mills has proven herself
Janet Mills has proven herself repeatedly, both as a state legislator in the past and, recently, as Maine’s attorney general. She is well liked by both parties. I am so pleased that voters have a calm, dedicated, bright, effective candidate for governor. Independent Terry Hayes has been state treasurer under the current administration and thinks […]

Support for Kristen Cloutier
I am hoping that the residents of Maine House District 60 will join me in voting for Kristen Cloutier for the Maine Legislature. I have known her for the past six or seven years. She serves with me on the Lewiston Public Health Committee as city council representative. Cloutier is a hard worker and is […]
