In 2010, independent candidate Elliott Cutler split the Democratic vote and Maine ended up with a belligerent governor, elected by less than 40 percent of voters. He has consistently embarrassed the state, ignored referendum results and fought against affordable health care. I am concerned about history repeating itself this year. Remember — Ranked-choice voting is […]

That is good economic and environmental policy. In central Maine there are: […]

I have no doubt that integrity in that position will translate to integrity as governor. I support […]
