I am delighted that Rep. Dale Denno, D-Cumberland, has chosen to run again in House District 45. Dale’s intelligence, experience and passion for the work he does on the Health and Human Services Committee make him a valuable member of our Legislature. This was confirmed for me recently while attending an event in Portland. Sitting […]

I have found that I can get a very clear picture of someone’s character, ethics, and strengths by simply looking at her or his volunteer causes and work career. This is true for District 51 state Rep. Joyce “Jay” McCreight, D-Harpswell. Recognizing the demands created by Maine’s ever-increasing senior population, Jay was one of the […]

I am writing to express my support for Rep. Teresa Pierce, D-Falmouth, who is running for re-election in House District 44. Teresa is a proven leader here in Falmouth and in Augusta, taking a thoughtful, balanced, and effective approach to issues. Teresa has passionately supported the Falmouth schools for many years on the Falmouth Education […]

Maine graduates 15,000 high school students every year. In comparison, 200,000 students graduate each spring in New York City. Maine does not have a single student to spare. Educating our rising workforce and keeping them in the state upon graduation are key to the growth and stability of Maine’s economy. Rep. Teresa Pierce, D-Falmouth, understands […]

When it comes to the quality of their work ethic and character, Maine workers punch well above their weight in an increasingly competitive global market. There just aren’t enough of them with the 21st century skills employers need to grow their businesses and our state economy. That’s why I am voting yes on Question 4 […]

The only reasons I can imagine that anyone would want to replace Maine U.S. Sen. Angus King at this time in the state’s history would be if they wanted to reduce access to affordable health care, deny citizens affordable prescription drugs, deny affordable internet service, reduce emission standards to have more pollution, reduce taxes on […]

Tawni Whitney is a bright young woman who has many creative ideas. On that basis alone I would vote for her. She is a Freeport resident who has already contributed a great deal to the community through her volunteer and organizing work and she is poised to commit her energy and willingness to listen to […]
