As a Biden-Harris supporter, I am relieved that the election is over and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are the projected winners. As President Trump continues to make legal challenges, his accusations of “fraud” and having the election “stolen” are what the media are covering now. It shouldn’t be this way. His allegations, without evidence, […]

Kudos to columnist Bill Nemitz for exposing the birthplace bigotry in a Bill Green commercial supporting Sen. Susan Collins (Nov. 8). What could be more insidious than reminding voters that your opponent is from Rhode Island? Never mind that the ads attacking Susan Collins used “corrupt” so often that a newcomer to Maine might well […]

The people of Maine have re-elected Sen. Susan Collins to be a voice of reason. Now is the time for her to stand up for democracy. We urge Sen. Collins to lead her colleagues and unequivocally support the results of our election. Seventy years ago, Maine Republican Sen. Margaret Chase Smith stood up to others […]

Through our diversity we become stronger; not weaker. Considering the heated arguments, misinformation, and demonization, have Americans lost sight of that possibility? President Trump essentially woke up the […]

As a transplant to Maine who has lived, worked and raised her children in this beautiful state for the past four years, I was terribly disappointed to see Susan Collins re-elected to the U.S. Senate. I was one of the many women who called her repeatedly ahead of the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation and felt profoundly […]

I was happy to read former President George W. Bush’s gracious remarks on Biden and Harris’s presumptive election. He, a part-time Mainer, presented us with a picture of respect for democratic impulses and traditions in keeping with the warmth and generosity Maine people. Without waiting for the last legal challenges to the election sometime in […]

I am so unhappy with the amount of money spent on elections, particularly on our Maine Senate race. And for what? Was anyone swayed? I know I am not alone in stopping by my recycling bin to dispose of all those fliers before I bring anything inside, and, although I do read the newspaper, I […]
