I’m supporting Sara Gideon for U.S. Senate because she’s been endorsed by the Human Rights Campaign, the League of Conservation Voters, the Natural Resources Defense Council Action Fund, Planned Parenthood, NARAL, Everytown for Gun Safety, the Maine AFL-CIO, Massachusetts and Northern New England Laborers, District Council, Painters and Allied Trades International Union District Council 35, […]

My thanks to Bill Nemitz for his Oct. 14 column on the Hoosier News Now invasion of the Harrison Town Office recently. It must be a great shock to be confronted by a gang of superannuated skinheads with their guardhouse law degrees and wacko knowledge of the Constitution. One hopes that Bill’s expose will help […]

As a mother of a daughter in the South Portland school system, I am very happy to strongly recommend you vote for Jeff Selser for our South Portland School Board. Over the last six or seven years, I have watched Jeff volunteer his time in our school community as a girls soccer coach and also […]
