Letter to the editor: Ethical, inspiring McNamara is right pick for Maine House District 21
In November, I will cast my vote for Democrat Kelcy Greer McNamara to represent me in the Maine House for District 21. Kelcy has my support because she is an effective leader and an incredibly hard worker. She is exceptional at collaborating with others, which is clear when one views her professional career, and it […]

Letter to the editor: Sense of community makes Chenette a state senator worthy of re-election
I’m a young adult growing up in a tight-knit, small town on the coast of Maine, and a sense of community means everything to me and my way of life. That’s why I’ll be voting to re-elect state Sen. Justin Chenette, D-Saco, in November, because he is a leader who not only represents my interests […]

Letter to the editor: Provide vital home care in Maine by casting your vote for Question 1
I’ve been an in-home caregiver for about three years. I’ve seen clients forced to move into nursing homes that provide a higher level of care than they need, simply because they reached their Medicare limit for in-home care. I’ve also seen people spend down their life’s savings, even lose the homes they wanted to leave […]

Letter to the editor: Save birth control insurance coverage by keeping Kavanaugh off Supreme Court
Oftentimes, when I didn’t have health care, I knew that I could go to Planned Parenthood for birth control. As a teenager, that’s where I went to ensure I wouldn’t get pregnant. Birth control allowed me to go to school and college and get my master’s and find the best time to create a family. […]

Letter to the editor: To be seen as fair-minded and objective, the press has to earn it
If newspapers were indeed honest and unbiased in their coverage – compare their treatment of Obama and Trump – they wouldn't need to publish a slew of editorials proclaiming it.

Letter to the editor: Sen. Collins needs to listen to opponents of nominee Kavanaugh
Regarding opposition to Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court, Sen. Susan Collins recently told WGME-TV that visits to her office are not helping. I want to make known that I take issue with any U.S. senator discouraging constituents from showing up, sharing our stories and voicing our concerns. Our country as I know […]

Letter to the editor: Ban expanded polystyrene containers to protect Maine’s environment
A sentiment I have found in every corner of Maine is an intrinsic fondness for and sense of belonging to this state. Maine’s natural serenity and beauty come from its untouched forests, unique cities and especially its coastline. Tourists come from far and near to taste Maine life on the water. It’s what makes Maine, […]

Letter to the editor: Public wants government leaders who serve interests of all Americans
Demi Kouzounas’ Aug. 16 letter stating that Judge Brett Kavanaugh will bring order to the Supreme Court, and that all Americans want him confirmed, holds no merit. Ms. Kouzounas’ position as chair of the Maine Republican Party is the only reason I can see that someone would hold such an opinion. To call Democrats “shameless” […]

Letter to the editor: Supreme Court nominee has reprehensible record on environment
Demi Kouzounas, chair of the Maine Republican Party, wrote a letter in support of Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court (Aug. 16). Our two extended families have been close friends for generations, and we have many shared experiences common to the Greek-American community here, but in the spirit of healthy, bipartisan discourse, I […]
