I have worked with Rep. Ellie Espling for six of the past eight years. She has been a role model for all newly elected representatives. It is her fairness and impartiality that set her apart from many others at the State House. Espling has been an outstanding House Minority Leader. She is a good negotiator […]

Get off the dock, Feinstein
And now we go back 36 years to unleash that sea-wide net of alleged “sexual misconduct” against then-17-year-old Brett Kavanaugh, the net being anchored by the New Yorker magazine and keeled by top Democrat Dianne Feinstein, who received her seaman’s skills from former top Democrat Harry Reid. As may be remembered, Captain Reid is best […]

Democrats filled with hate
I can only imagine how great this country would be if the Democrats would work with the Republicans. Instead, Democrats have gone so far to the left they are no longer recognizable. They are acting like they hate America. They are maligning anyone who voted for Trump. Once known as deplorables, Trump supporters are now […]

Self-serving behavior is abhorrent
What is happening to Brett Kavanaugh is a travesty. The opposition is sifting through whatever chaff they can find to discredit that man with things that may or may not have happened when he was an immature youth at a drunken party. If these accusers were so innocent, what were they doing at such parties? […]

Many reasons to vote for Jan Collins
There are so many reasons I support Jan Collins for state Senate. The one big issue I look for in any candidate is support for the environment, because without a healthy environment, nothing else matters. People’s physical and mental health depend on clean air, water and land. In addition, personal and state economies depend on […]

Claxton listens respectfully
Ned Claxton has been listening carefully to the residents of Senate District 20 (Auburn, Poland, New Gloucester, Mechanic Falls, Minot) as he knocks on doors to meet members of that district. While driving him around the back roads of Poland, I have been consistently impressed with his ability to listen respectfully and with compassion to […]

Go with partially vetted candidates
I would like to suggest to leadership of the U.S. Senate that they find a new way to vet and approve nominations for government positions. The current system brings out the worst in everyone. If appointments were made to a pool of candidates long before a position was vacant and anyone wishing some observation to […]

Mills will work for the people of Maine
I am voting for Janet Mills because she shares some of my most deeply held values. She has worked successfully for the people of Maine and will continue to do so. Mills will work for the state to provide excellent public education — the best way to work out of poverty, as reported recently in […]

Police investigation is essential
I was raped at roughly the same age that Dr. Christine Blasey Ford describes being assaulted by Brett Kavanaugh. Of course, I have no way to know if Kavanaugh did any of the things of which he is accused. But I went through a traumatizing trial and my rapist went free because of poor evidence […]

Inspired by choice to speak out
It has been a stressful experience to watch the Supreme Court confirmation hearings for Brett Kavanaugh. The lack of transparency, masterful dodging of questions on his rulings and opinions on civil rights, all come together in a defining moment for the country. A professor of clinical psychology — Christine Blasey Ford — has accused Brett […]
