To the editor:
In addition to not accepting any campaign contributions, I would like you to know that I am not planning on filing with the Federal Elections Commission because I will not be spending over the $5,000 limit in my non-party candidacy for the U.S. Senate.
I don’t believe it is necessary to spend any more than that here in Maine as long as the voters do their due diligence and find out about each candidate and what they have to say about the issues.
I think I can present my views and background through the web and other inexpensive means; and hopefully also with fair, accurate and equal reporting.
We have four months. That’s a long time.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
