At last — a breath of fresh air. A candidate for the Maine Senate who is offering to bring integrity, honesty and common sense to the Senate in Augusta. And, many of us are ready and waiting for just that. When Eric Brakey came by here this summer, he asked questions and actually listened to […]

J. Cimino: Senator out of touch with sportsmen
Sen. John Cleveland should be ashamed of his vote on LD 1240. He voted to restrict some military veterans from obtaining concealed weapons permits by increasing the minimum age for a permit from 18 to 21. Also, he voted to create a new program to make it more difficult to access firearms courses while establishing […]

J. Turner: Need people with new ideas
Twenty-plus years ago, I ran for the state Senate against John Cleveland. That is how long he’s been hanging around government. It is time for a change and I believe Eric Brakey would represent the Senate district well. Also, I was distressed to learn Cleveland is misrepresenting his record as it relates to the welfare […]

J. Fogle: Talking to the people
Wow, according to an independent spending report, during a two-week period the Maine Democrat Party spent more than $22,000 on misleading attack mailers against state Senate candidate Eric Brakey, while also trying to confuse people about the record of his opponent, John Cleveland, who has voted against major welfare reform proposals during the past two […]

P. Vaillancourt: Will lead with fresh solutions

M. Durgin: Cares about what people think
I am honored to support Eric Brakey for the Maine Senate. I have never seen a harder-working or more humble candidate. Most politicians think they know what is best for you without listening to your concerns. Brakey is different. He actively listens, cares about what people think, and works hard every day to get to […]

L. Snowe-Mello: Did not support welfare reform
Recently, many people received a deceptive mailer from the Maine Democrat Party saying that Sen. John Cleveland supported welfare reform. Don’t believe a word of it. Cleveland voted against every single welfare reform proposal of significance. Cleveland voted to allow welfare spending on alcohol, cigarettes, lottery tickets and junk food. He voted against work search […]

N. Berry: Just the man to serve
As a U.S. Army veteran, a retired state of Maine game warden for 34 years and now serving nearly six years on the Board of Selectmen in the town of New Gloucester, I have seen many changes in this country, this state, and in municipal government. I believe Eric Brakey is just the right person […]

R. Vining: He listens, so he gets my vote
As winner of the Brakey for Maine Senate Balloon Ride Contest, I have to thank Eric Brakey for giving away a free balloon ride during the Great Falls Balloon Festival. Taking a balloon ride has been on my bucket list, so I was excited to enter the contest, and was thrilled when I won. Brakey […]
