To the Editor: I strongly support Lisa Keim for another term in the Maine Senate. Here’s one reason: I have never seen a politician so willing to meet voters. I was very pleasantly surprised that she took the time to come to my town, paying attention to current health guidelines, and speak with my wife […]

Morse is the right choice
To the Editor: When I saw Sawin Millett’s quarter-page ad in last week’s Advertiser Democrat, I laughed so hard I had to pull out my inhaler to prevent an asthma attack. Here he is, a dyed in the wool ultra-conservative, a guy who has voted against every progressive bill that has ever come before him, but […]
Thanks again to highway dept.
To the Editor: A few weeks ago, I was trying to trap some bait in Norway Lake. No bait, but I did find a good amount of trash that people fishing there were leaving behind. Bait containers, hooks and fishing line and lots of broken bottles and there was a large truck tire where I […]

Consider candidates with clear plans

Medicare is a crucial safety net for […]
Branch for Senate
To the Editor: I have four reasons for strongly supporting Katey Branch’s bid to represent District 19 in the Maine Senate. First, character counts. I have known Katey for more than twenty years as both a friend and a colleague. In all of her dealings as a small business owner, founder of two nonprofit organizations […]
Bennett for Senate
To the Editor: In my opinion, this election is a mandate on the way Mainers choose to be governed. Western Maine, especially, is straining to maintain local control over its affairs in the face of increasing government centralization in Augusta. The influence and interests in the Maine Legislature of Maine’s urban districts such as Portland […]
Gideon will protect rural health care
To the Editor: My husband and I moved to Eastport in 2014 with stars in our eyes. We were heading to a beautiful, isolated part of Maine. Even though the closest hospital, in Calais, is thirty minutes away, we were not concerned. I didn’t realize how lucky we were to have reliable health care until […]
