The Sun Journal says it’s time for a change in representation in the 2nd District, and says Michaud “has adopted a low-key issue on everything but veterans’ issues.” It calls Raye “a consensus-builder and doer.”
The Bangor Daily News says having someone in the majority party in the U.S. House “will improve the odds that legislation benefiting Maine will pass.”
