NEW YORK — Aaron Judge walked past Boston’s Fenway Park clubhouse early Sunday morning, Frank Sinatra’s rendition of “New York, New York” blaring from a boom box atop the wheelie bag he was pulling with his left hand. “It’s a good song. And Aaron, he’s one of our resident deejays, so he’s got a pretty extensive playlist,” New […]

Letter: Elect Kessler in House District 32
I fully endorse the candidacy of Democrat Chris Kessler in House District 32 and hope many others join me in voting for this fine young man to represent South Portland and Cape Elizabeth in Augusta. I have known Chris and his family for a long time and am always so impressed by his deep caring […]
Letter: Moody is out of touch with most Mainers
Shawn Moody is not running to represent Maine people. Shawn Moody is campaigning on repealing voter-approved laws. The people voted in favor of ranked-choice voting. Shawn Moody wants to repeal ranked-choice voting. The people voted in favor of Maine’s recreational marijuana law. Shawn Moody wants to repeal it. The people voted to increase the minimum […]
Letter: Vote yes on state bond Question 4
When it comes to the quality of their work ethic and character, Maine workers punch well above their weight in an increasingly competitive global market. There just aren’t enough of them with the 21st century skills employers need to grow their businesses and our state economy. That’s why I am voting yes on Question 4 […]

Letter: Re-elect McCreight in House District 51
When I was a kid, my grandmother was a Connecticut state senator known for working across the aisle. Women were rare in politics in those days. But people said of her, “Pound for pound, she’s worth three times her weight of any other senator.” More recently, I’ve realized our House District 51 representative, Joyce “Jay” […]
Letter: Elect Higgins in House District 28
In the years that I have known Linwood Higgins, he has displayed exceptional knowledge on how State House business is conducted. His prior terms in the Maine House, I believe, would be a tremendous asset to the citizens of Scarborough representing House District 28. He has held positions on various legislative committees and is a […]
Letter: Re-elect Chace in House District 46
Rep. Paul Chace, R-Durham, has served House District 46 (North Yarmouth, Durham and Pownal) with distinction over the past four years. In the Maine Legislature he has supported many positions that are important to me. Chace led the effort to protect our IRA retirement funds from being seized by creditors. This helps many Maine residents […]
