Why are the Democrats so concerned with Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s drinking, but hardly mention Christine Blasey Ford’s drinking the day or night in question? She admitted that she had a beer. Who knows how many she really had. And, at 15 years old, even one beer might give a person that age enough of a […]

Republicans' war on women
Forget for a moment Christine Blasey Ford’s statement. Look, really look, at Brett Kavanaugh — his anger, his entitlement, his drinking, his hot-headed temperament, his frat-boy mentality, his saving calendars from his glory days (yikes). Look at his policies and partisan attitudes. I do not want a lifetime appointment given to an immature man who, […]

Janet Mills for governor
I have known Janet Mills since the 1980s when she ran for district attorney. I was the treasurer for one of her campaigns. She is a person who understands that laws must always be in the best interest of the people. As district attorney, she supervised many individuals and made sure that the cases that […]

Question 1 an all-around bad idea
I will always advocate for access to quality home health services for those in need, but Question 1 is a bad idea. It is so unpopular that all four candidates for governor and leaders in both parties agree it is wrong for Maine. Question 1 would impose a massive $310 million tax increase on thousands […]

America is under attack by socialists
The real threat this nation is facing is the anti-Trump and anti-America socialist movement. America is under attack from the out-of-control leftist politicians. They are the real problem, not the president. On Nov. 6, people get a chance to vote on who will be taking U.S. House and some Senate seats. If the liberal left […]

Hayes respected by both parties
Terry Hayes is a bright, articulate, thoughtful individual who also is a good listener. Free of party politics and the rancor and partisanship that accompanies the same, she is just the person needed at the Blaine House as Maine tackles the big problems of health care, education, the economy, energy and a myriad of other […]

I recommend Martha Poliquin
Martha Poliquin is the Democrat candidate for Lisbon’s seat in the Maine House of Representatives. She is not to be confused with Bruce Poliquin of the other party. She is a hard working woman, dedicated to the welfare and improvement of Lisbon, as evidenced by her time on the school board and participation with the […]

Vote for the antidote — Janet Mills
Anyone who wants to turn the page on eight years of a Republican governor who bragged about being “Trump before Trump was Trump” should vote to replace him with Janet Mills, who will: • Fight for affordable health care. Reversing mean-spirited Republican policy, she will enforce the wishes of Maine voters by expanding Medicaid. • […]

Questions about Bruce Poliquin
This is in response to the Sun Journal profile of Rep. Bruce Poliquin (Sept. 23). In the article, Poliquin is quoted as having “ignored the noise” in the controversy over last year’s Republican bill designed to eliminate the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). Yet 60 percent of Mainers had voted to expand Medicaid under Obamacare in […]

Mills cares about Mainers
In the first six months of 2017, Maine saw 185 drug overdose deaths compared to 180 for the same period in 2018. In 2017 there were 418 drug-induced deaths, an increase from 2016 when my sister, Sarah Cookson, lost her battle with drug addiction and depression. My sister became one of those numbers, Dec. 16, […]
