I’m voting for Dennis Welsh for state representative in House District 47. I am inspired by Dennis’ passion to bring disparate voices together in Augusta. I believe independents like Dennis are our only hope for compromise. In an election season ripe with division, equal access to the ballot is paramount. We benefit from competition in […]

I agree with letter writer Michael Liff’s assessment of Park Avenue (“Interesting idea, disastrous execution,” Oct. 17). It’s not an effective design for heavy traffic. But that doesn’t mean it’s a bad design. It just means there are too many people using cars. Cars play an important role in our society. They’re an invaluable assist […]

We’ve been members and supporters of the Falmouth Memorial Library for nearly 20 years. It’s an essential pillar within the community, and it must be first class to meet community needs. Renovations and expansion are needed, but how much and at what costs? In 2014, plans were developed and voters approved a bond issuance of […]

State Rep. Denise Tepler is a great asset to Topsham. She is determined to hear from as many people as she can about their hopes and their fears. Denise is resolved to bring our concerns to Augusta. The past two years she worked to increase the Property Tax Fairness Credit, which helps homeowners and renters […]

I am writing to share my support for the re-election of Robert “Will” Rowan to the Scarborough Town Council. I met Robert shortly after moving to Scarborough in 2011. His two daughters are close in age to my daughter and son. Robert was first elected to the Town Council in 2015 and is seeking re-election […]

I am supporting Tammy Walter for House representative for District 32. Tammy, who was the first female president in the club’s history, has shown her grit and determination in the Spurwink Rod and Gun Club’s permitting and licensing saga. There were constant challenges over four years and she stuck with it to resolution. We are […]

Cathy Nichols, the Republican candidate for state Senate District 25, is firmly opposed to the Universal Health Care initiative that, if passed, would add a 3.8 percent tax on family incomes above $128,400. Meanwhile, her opponent has not taken a position, yet all four gubernatorial candidates strongly oppose this citizen initiative. Cathy Nichols went on […]

Experienced representation and leadership in Augusta are crucially important to our community and the state of Maine. Teresa Pierce deserves to be re-elected and I urge my fellow neighbors to vote for her in the upcoming election. In addition to the great work that she has done in her first term in office, Teresa recently […]

I would like to strongly support Dan Ankeles in his campaign to serve on the Town Council as an at-large member. I have always found Dan to be a hardworking, energetic person who cares about his neighbors. He’s very clearly committed to our community. The council would benefit from Dan’s ongoing experience working for the […]
