I write in response to Benjamin Stevens’ letter last week, asking whether my status as a teacher in Yarmouth presents a conflict to serving on Yarmouth Town Council.

I am writing in support of Jeff Kew for Yarmouth School Committee. I first met Jeff two years ago at a town soccer clinic that our kids attended. While chatting on the sidelines, I learned that Jeff had served as acting chairman of his old town’s Charter Review Commission and on a search committee for […]

A suitable candidate for Falmouth Town Council must be fiscally experienced, supportive of our public schools and committed to protecting open space. Ted Asherman is this candidate.

I proudly endorse Richard Rottkov’s Democratic candidacy in Maine House District 32. I have had the privilege of knowing Richard for 13 years and have always been impressed with his dedication to volunteerism in South Portland. He has shown great care for our environment by working tirelessly with the South Portland Land Trust and has […]

His humility, respect for others, ability to see long-range implications, and experience in town government make him an ideal candidate. He will be an advocate for Yarmouth’s educational excellence in local, regional and state dialogue. Jeff reaches out to […]
