Liberals have nothing left
Have people noticed how much the liberals hate President Trump? The media, the papers — the left can’t say anything good about him. It is time they got over losing the last election; and, believe me, that is what it is all about — Trump won, Hillary lost. Now it appears that Obama’s cronies were […]

Mills has the qualifications
Janet Mills is the only person who has all the qualifications to become the governor of Maine. She was the first woman district attorney in New England; she was in the Legislature and on the Appropriations Committee; she then became the first female attorney general of Maine.

Reputation attacked by my many enemies
Thank you, Elliot Epstein, for comparing me to President Trump (June 3). Being considered another “deplorable Republican” by elitist liberals like him is a badge of honor. “You have enemies? Good; that means you stood for something.” — Winston Churchill. In my lifetime, I’ve been brutally attacked by the establishment when I speak truth to […]

Lisbon's voice in Augusta

She will be a clear, strong voice for those of us who believe in working together to solve problems, such as fully funding Maine’s public schools, bringing affordable health care to all Maine people, and protecting the natural resources […]

Sneaky ploy by Seth Carey
I recently saw a sign for “S. Thomas Carey for District Attorney.” I had not heard that Thomas Carey was running. When I mentioned it to my family, they informed me that is was Seth Thomas Carey running. I realized that Carey had appeared to omit his first name from the campaign signs. That seems […]

Golden is the best choice
Maine’s Second Congressional District is incredibly fortunate to have Jared Golden as a Democratic candidate. As a state Representative for Lewiston, he has, among many things, spoken out strongly for veterans. He advocates for them, not just because he himself is a veteran of tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, he does it because he believes […]

Golden will unite residents
From the first day I met Jared Golden in person — kind smile, big heart and whip-smart mind — I knew he had the courage to stand up for what my community needs. He doesn’t back down from making the laws and policies that will keep local children safe, help families be healthy, and make […]

Not required to use RCV
A friend told me recently how overwhelmed she felt by the number of candidates in the Maine gubernatorial primary. There was one candidate she knew she supported, but she hadn’t had the time or inclination to adequately research all of the others. She said that she was concerned about the prospect of ranked-choice voting because […]
