Letter to the editor: Re-elect Rep. Seth Berry, who works on issues that matter to Mainers
Rep. Seth Berry, D-Bowdoinham, works for the people of Maine, not for his own agenda!

Letter to the editor: Re-elect Justin Chenette, who has worked hard for a better downtown Saco
I’m supporting Democrat Justin Chenette for re-election to the Maine Senate because of his commitment to the community. Justin epitomizes community spirit. He is always at community events.

Letter to the editor: For caring commitment to city, elect April Caricchio in South Portland
There is no question in my mind who could best represent the citizens of South Portland on the City Council: It’s April Caricchio all the way. She is a committed resident who has walked the walk here in South Portland, focused on the welfare of her neighbors. Ms. Caricchio has not only raised three successful […]
Letter to the editor: Re-elect Sen. Vitelli, who has worked tirelessly on behalf of her constituents
I have a simple point to make as we face the upcoming midterm elections. Maine needs as many good people representing us in our state Legislature (not to mention on the federal front) as is humanly possible. Democrat Eloise Vitelli, up for re-election in Sagadahoc County and Dresden, is one of them. She has been […]
