I am writing in response to Caleb Hemphill’s letter last week. Six candidates will be on the ballot for Falmouth Town Council this year. That is not the standard number of candidates in Falmouth and that’s because people in Falmouth are interested in change of perspective.

Likely we have all been told, “Don’t waste your vote. Instead, check the candidate’s history and passions to see if he/she stands for the things you value.” Well, I am writing to share information about Richard Rottkov, Democratic candidate in House District 32. Richard is a strong environmentalist. Like me, he cares about keeping our […]

As a current assistant district attorney, Frayla is the only candidate who has implemented modern approaches to criminal justice […]

This past January, I spent the day in Augusta learning about our state Legislature. Rep. Janice Cooper, D-Yarmouth, immediately approached me when she learned that I am a student at Yarmouth High School. Cooper spoke about her six years in the Legislature, and tough issues she has taken on. She has not been afraid to […]
