To the Editor:  I’m supporting Bruce Bryant, a lifelong sportsman, for Senate District 19. When he chaired the Inland Fisheries Committee, Bruce worked to rebuild our fish hatcheries with the money from a bond passed by the voters. He also worked to create the Sportsman License plate, which helps to fund boat launches, hatcheries, biologists, […]

To the Editor:  I support Bruce Bryant for Maine Senate. He is a champion representing the citizens of Western Maine.

To the Editor: Do you remember Samantha Smith? In 1982, she was a 10-year-old from Maine with a question, why did the world need nuclear weapons? “Is Russia going to war with the United States?” she wrote in a letter to Soviet leader, Yuri Andropov.
