She’s drawing voters’ attention based on her hard work and positive platform, not the artificial advantage provided by deep-pocketed special interests.

Letter to the editor: We can’t afford to lose Susan Collins
For two years now, Mainers have been watching millions of dollars in TV ads (too much of them negative). Now, we are casting our ballots in the U.S. Senate race. I don’t base my decision on who has the most or best ads, or on political party. Instead, I cast my ballot for the person […]

Letter to the editor: If I’m on ballot, I belong on debate stage, U.S. Senate candidate says
After four debates in the U.S. Senate race, Maine voters have made it clear they want to see me debate. We now have over 2,000 signatures on a petition calling on media outlets to #LetLisaDebate. Many people who have seen me debate comment favorably on my clear answers to the moderators’ questions and that I […]

Letter to the editor: Don’t balk at naming Trump as threat to democracy
The call by faith leaders Marvin M. Ellison and Jane Field, for people of good faith to pledge to “defend democracy faithfully”(“Maine Voices: Let’s stay united as Mainers amid our religious, political differences,” Oct. 25), is a salutary gesture. Nevertheless, it’s disappointing to see that explicit reference to the threat that has necessitated their initiative […]

Letter to the editor: Gideon campaign’s mailer good only for a laugh
The Maine Democratic Party is so desperate to help Sara Gideon that they sent me, a registered Republican, a mailer comparing Republican Sen. Susan Collins to not their own candidate but Max Linn. This was an obvious attempt, almost Wile E. Coyote-esque, intending to get members of Collins’ base to waste their vote on a […]

Letter to the editor: Green doesn’t grasp implications of re-electing Collins
Re: “Letter to the editor: Bill Green defends Susan Collins on the issues” (Oct. 20): Bill Green just doesn’t get it. This election isn’t about the likability of Susan Collins. This election is about Mitch McConnell. Sen. Collins may claim she hasn’t changed, but her party surely has, and McConnell insists on using his power […]

Letter to the editor: Time for Casella to stop scare tactics
In his Oct. 16 guest editorial, Casella Waste Systems’ Brian Oliver struck a tone worthy of the Halloween season when characterizing the simple changes that Mainers like us are asking for to protect our families and neighbors from toxic out-of-state pollution. Casella has been steadily losing landfill capacity in other parts of the Northeast; now […]

Letter to the editor: Address Portlanders’ real needs – vote ‘yes’ on Questions A-E
As a proud Portlander, I have been increasingly appalled at the progressive facade by city government. The statement by most councilors denouncing People First Portland‘s ballot initiatives is a stab in the back, as it’s precisely what citizen initiatives were designed for and an expression of our democracy. Rent and home prices have skyrocketed while […]

Letter to the editor: Questions A, C, D and E will have unintended results – vote ‘no’
As an environmental lawyer, a lifelong supporter of raising the minimum wage and an advocate for affordable housing as a Community Housing of Maine board member, it is hard for me to urge a “no” vote on exactly these issues. But I must. The concepts behind referendum questions A, C, D and E deserve thoughtful […]
