Share Facebook Reddit Linkedin Email Copy Link Print Our Position: Support affordable-housing proposal to keep Maine seniors safe, connected Statewide Question 2 is a step in the right direction toward revitalizing an effort to help low-income elderly Mainers. Our Position: Vote ‘yes’ on statewide Question 1 for Clean Election reform The proposal will help revitalize the state's landmark public campaign financing system. Our Position: Reluctantly, we call for ’no’ on Question 1 on Portland ballot No one can predict the impact of raising the minimum wage to $15 – and that's too risky. Our Position: Scenic view initiative ‘protects’ the city from threats that aren’t threats Don't let Question 2 give small groups a tool to slow down or stop development in Portland. Our Endorsement: Ethan Strimling best-equipped candidate to unite Portland as mayor He and incumbent Michael Brennan agree on the issues, but Strimling has the skills needed to sway people. Our Endorsement: Community volunteer Ray is best choice for Portland’s District 1 We want Belinda Ray at the table when the city's future is being decided. Our Endorsement: Compassion, experience, ideas put Lyons at top in District 2 His plans to address the city's heroin crisis show the kind of leadership that Portland needs. Our Endorsement: Council veteran Nick Mavodones merits re-election to at-large seat We have reservations about his minimum-wage and GA votes, but his experience counts for a lot.
