The multiple choices voters must make this election are as confusing as they are numerous. We are facing questions on bond proposals, a controversial referendum on Maine’s bear hunt, a choice of three gubernatorial candidates, our congresspersons and Senator, and a new state Senate and House of Representatives. At least one of my choices this […]

As an owner of two small businesses in Topsham I am writing in support of Denise Tepler for State Representative. Denise has been a stalwart supporter of locally owned businesses of all types, always choosing to make her purchases locally whenever those options are available. Denise believes that it is not enough to give lip […]

We are all fortunate to live in a beautiful state, with breathtaking vistas in the mountains, quiet and restful places in the deep woods, and refreshing sea air along a three thousand mile coastline. But we also know that our state suffers from an economy that has yet to fully recover from the crash of […]

Shenna Bellows, the Democratic candidate for the United States Senate, has my vote. There are several reasons I’m voting for her.
