Letter to the editor: As district attorney, Irving will work for justice
Maine needs district attorneys who will work hard to correct the injustices of our criminal justice system. Even though incarceration rates across the country are going down slightly, Maine’s rate has continued to climb.

Letter to the editor: Re-elect Marean, a man of integrity
Republican Don Marean of Hollis is seeking re-election to the Maine House of Representatives. Don is very hard-working and sincerely wants to help the people of Maine.
