As old Maine Yankees we have a pretty good idea as to who of our candidates for House District 46 has supported hard-working North Yarmouth and Durham people. That person is Rep. Paul Chace, R-Durham. He has been most helpful and responsive to any and all letters and emails to him. Allowing him to be […]

Augusta changes people. They get elected, go to Augusta, and feel like they aren’t accountable to anyone but themselves. We need to send someone like Republican Sarah Sandlin to represent House District 44. She is someone who will defend our interests, not the interests of unaccountable lobbyists. Without reservation, I support Sarah. She is a […]

Residents of House District 45 are incredibly lucky to have Rep. Dale Denno, D-Cumberland, representing us. Our community and state are fortunate to have someone as smart as Dale, who has significant public- and private-sector experience, working to determine state policy. We first met Dale during his 2016 campaign. As we learned more about Dale […]

Rep. Janice Cooper, D-Yarmouth, has proved to be an effective legislator during her three terms representing District 47. She has learned how to get things done.

These are charged political times, getting more so every week, for big stakes. As a survivor of sexual assault, I have watched the proceedings in Washington with bated breath. I have watched the ugliness involving both parties, and my heart breaks for our country. This shows me that the two-party system is not healthy. When […]

Maura Pillsbury served on Freeport’s Conservation Commission for five years, and I feel fortunate to have worked with her on the commission for the last two. During our time together, Maura demonstrated passion and enthusiasm for her community and its residents. As commission chairwoman, she spearheaded efforts to improve the town’s existing conservation properties, including […]

U.S. Sen. Angus King is a politician who has served Maine and the country with integrity and common sense. With foresight and courage, the independent senator announced that he would not vote to confirm Judge Brett Kavanaugh. Lifetime appointments should require substantial bipartisan support, but this process, too rushed and flawed, became downright ugly when […]

Nick Gill is running for Scarborough Board of Education. He is not running to create more discord. He is not running to remove our superintendent. Nick is running because he loves this town and its people. Nick Gill has a doctorate in education. He is the associate dean of Institutional Research and Development at York […]
