Letter to the editor: Mavodones has been too long on council
Back in August I emailed my city councilors: Kim Cook, my District 5 councilor, and Nick Mavodones, one of the three at-large councilors. I had a few things to discuss regarding the city. Within a few days I received a reply from Kim Cook. We set a time to talk on the phone and within […]

Letter to the editor: With Kavanaugh on court, Maine needs leader who will counteract his positions
The confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court makes the outcome of the Maine gubernatorial election even more important. Kavanaugh’s record on environmental issues and climate change shows he is likely to rule in favor of corporate interests over the environment. Further, his record on women’s reproductive rights indicates he is unlikely to […]

Letter to the editor: As an independent, Hayes wouldn’t play partisan politics as governor
I’ll be enthusiastically casting my vote for independent candidate Terry Hayes to be Maine’s next governor. Terry is the only choice who brings experience, intelligence and independence from big-money donors together in one package. She’s focused only on what’s best for Maine – not partisan politics. I watched Terry work cooperatively with her colleagues from […]

Letter to the editor: Voting for Hayes opens door to more problems and bad governing
Canvassing for Democrat Janet Mills the other day, I ran into someone who had represented Portland in the Legislature as an independent. The person was committed to voting for Terry Hayes for governor, another independent. The person appeared comfortable with the knowledge that a vote for Hayes would, in effect, be a vote for Shawn […]

Letter to the editor: Don’t elect clone of current governor, who ignores constituents
We are now counting down the last few days of an administration in Maine that has refused to listen to its constituents on matters of Medicare, Medicaid, education and the economy in general. Do we want to replace that administration with a clone of the same? Have we not learned that a successful businessman is […]

Letter to the editor: Just like for any job, Mainers should ‘hire’ most qualified person to be governor
Voting for an elected official is like hiring them to do a job for us. So when we need a painter, an auto mechanic or a baby sitter, we look for someone who has demonstrated that they have the skills to do that particular job well. As we look for someone to lead our state […]

Letter to the editor: An independent as governor would end the bickering in Augusta
I am writing this letter to encourage everyone to vote on Nov. 6 for independent Terry Hayes for governor. We have three credible candidates to choose from, two of whom were elected as partisan favorites of their respective parties. I believe that our state government has been severely hampered by partisan bickering for far too […]

Letter to the editor: To provide health care coverage to 70,000 Mainers, cast vote for Mills
If we ever want to get out of the cycle of having governors who win by less than a true majority, we must implement ranked-choice voting in general elections for state offices. Janet Mills will do so; Shawn Moody won’t. As a self-employed Mainer, I depend on the Affordable Care Act for my health care […]
