Public discourse isn’t what it used to be. South Portland and Cape Elizabeth Democrats would be lucky to have Richard Rottkov’s rational and humane voice campaigning for the House District 32 seat. His involvement with the South Portland Land Trust, Trails Advisory Group, and high school sports booster clubs shows he is steeped in the […]

Letter: Falmouth needs Asherman's leadership
As a lifelong resident of Falmouth, I couldn’t ask for a better person to represent us on the Town Council than Ted Asherman. I have known Ted for over 15 years, we have served together on committees and boards, and he was my corporate accountant for many years before he retired. He is smart, he […]

Letter: Yarmouth PD takes unwanted guns, ammo
On June 2, the Yarmouth Police Department is hosting a “Voluntary Turn-in Event” to accept unwanted guns and ammunition. Set aside your thoughts on gun control or the Second Amendment and consider this: I recently helped an elderly relative in another state clean out her garage following her spouse’s death. There was a large box […]

Meghan recognizes that there are […]
Letter: Democrat Kessler is an inspiring candidate
I am recommending Christopher Kessler in the House District 32 Democratic primary. Kessler’s extensive first-hand experience with clean energy and efficient households will be invaluable for the future of our state, and his commitment to rank-choice voting has helped lead the way to government that serves the people rather than special interests. More importantly, Chris […]

Having known John for the past 11 years, we know that he is well prepared to take on this role. John is […]
Letter: Kitchel, Kuhn for Falmouth council
I would like to lend my strong support for two candidates running for the Falmouth Town Council this June. I worked with Councilor Ned Kitchel on the council and can attest to his commitment and knowledge, both past and present, of the town of Falmouth. And as important as that is a true strength that […]
