I write in support of Karen Campbell’s re-election to the SAD 51 School Board, recognizing that it is unusual for a sitting board member to publicly support a school board candidate.

Letter: Falmouth councilor backs Anderson, Dench
Falmouth is fortunate to have four capable and qualified candidates running for Town Council. That said, I believe it is important to replace outgoing Councilors Fred Chase and Will Armitage with two equally cautious and accomplished people, Russ Anderson and Bryan Dench. They will support our schools, respect property rights and be vigilant in recognizing […]
Letter: Gideon seeks office for the right reasons

From day one we have been blessed with incredible teachers, administrators, staff, parents and students alike. The care, professionalism and […]
Letter: Falmouth candidate's opinion raises question
During my six years on the Falmouth Town Council, the generally civil, respectful tone among all councilors, even those who disagreed with each other on hot topics, impressed me. All Falmouth taxpayers deserve and expect a certain level of decorum from their representatives. That’s why I was alarmed when I read Town Council candidate Bryan […]
Letter: Mahoney a 'prudent choice' for Falmouth
I am a supporting Sean Mahoney for Falmouth Town Council. We got to know each other when I served on the Town Council and Sean served as president of the Falmouth Land Trust. At that time there was an incredible opportunity for our town to preserve 250 acres of land off Blackstrap Road. A generous […]
