U.S. Sen. Susan Collins has plenty of political capital. Witness how the country held its breath before she eventually voted for Brett Kavanaugh for the U.S. Supreme Court. She dominated the news. However you feel about that vote, there is a different, urgent issue on which I would like to see her exert leadership and […]

It is critical that Congress renew the tried and true approach of compromise and bipartisanship, setting aside the interminable partisan fighting and ugliness of the past several years. I am convinced that Marty Grohman can be such a leader representing Maine’s 1st District. That is why I am happy to support his independent campaign for […]

It would be nearly impossible to express all the ways our independent senator, Angus King, has bettered my life as a young Mainer.

Lester Ordway’s re-election campaign is […]

He has co-sponsored bipartisan legislation that seeks to create a task force to find solutions to the affordable-housing crisis, which is so important here in Portland. He has developed and expanded Maine’s workforce and introduced […]

Having independent Angus King represent Maine in the U.S. Senate is a blessing to be preserved for another six-year term. After an impressive eight years as our governor and six more in the Senate, Angus is a highly skilled and respected advocate for Maine interests of all types. As just one example, I’ve observed how […]
