Every year, state Rep. Teresa Pierce, D-Falmouth, impresses me more. As a town councilor from 2008-2014, she was a consensus builder working to maintain adequate funding for public education, preserve open space, and continue fiscal responsibility.

Letter: Library contributes to life in Falmouth
“Life has a way of confusing us, Blessing, and bruising us …” We’ve all been where Tevye is in “Fiddler on the Roof” – despite our best efforts, sometimes unpleasantly surprised by the hand life deals us. And the Falmouth Memorial Library trustees were certainly dealt a bruising hand when the overheated building market in […]
Letter: Re-elect Pierce in House District 44
State Rep. Teresa Pierce, D-Falmouth, has earned my vote for re-election in House District 44.

He is kind, thoughtful, and dedicated to making our community stronger. Those qualities alone would make Dennis a […]
