As a retired doctor, I am a member of a broad coalition of medical providers who have signed an open letter to America’s patients (Dear Patients), urging citizens to vote for leaders who understand the health risks of climate change. Extreme weather, driven by a warming climate, is contributing to a rising toll in adverse […]

As a relatively new Brunswick resident, I hesitate to weigh in on local elections, but I make an exception to enthusiastically support my friend Republican Brad Pattershall for the Maine Senate, where I recently served eight years myself. I have known Brad and his family for many years. As a fellow attorney, I can tell […]

On Nov. 3, we choose who represents us in Augusta by voting for someone who shares our values. This year I’m proud to vote for Democrat Joe Rafferty, of Kennebunk, for Maine Senate. The main reason is how he treats everyone with dignity and respect. I know this as a player for the JV baseball […]

I have never written publicly about political issues; however, I felt it my responsibility to write expressing my support for our Republican senator, Susan Collins.

The fact is, Sen. […]

“This race is built on a foundation of falsehoods,” Sen. Susan Collins said recently. She should know. Her ad featuring Bill Green declares that Sara Gideon’s campaign is supported by out-of-state interests who “don’t give a darn” about Maine. Yet contributions of at least $200 from Mainers made up 14 percent of Gideon’s total and […]

I want to share how my experiences working with Democrat Sara Gideon have influenced my unwavering support for her as a candidate for the U.S. Senate from Maine. First of all, Sara is tough. She has a level of determination and fearlessness that is very inspiring. Dealing with then-Gov. Paul LePage is not a challenge […]

Maine voters are being taken advantage of by TV ads attacking Republican Sen. Susan Collins and misrepresenting her record. Unprecedented amounts of out-of-state dark money have paid for these misleading ads by special interest groups not concerned about Maine. Sen. Collins has a proven record of bipartisan leadership in the U.S. Senate. She has used […]
