This election is singularly important, and Maine voters who don’t want to crowd the polls Nov. 3 can complete part or all of the process at their town hall.

Letter to the editor: Gideon, unlike Collins, would speak for voters
After watching last Friday’s Senate debate, it’s obvious to me that Democrat Sara Gideon is the best choice for the U.S. Senate. Her heartfelt concerns for Mainers were evident. I feel she has the determination, desire, compassion and knowledge to effectively work the turbulent currents of the Senate. Susan Collins’ silence on the disastrous actions […]

Letter to the editor: Support Democratic values – they’re American values
Much like so-called “conservatives,” so-called “liberal leftist” Democrats are police and firefighters, we serve in the military and work in hospitals, schools and homes. We’re not losers or suckers. We’re workers, customers, family. We go to church and even own guns! The inflamed campaign media and hysterical politicians suggesting otherwise are un-American. Together, we could […]

Letter to the editor: Sen. Collins leads from the middle
Congress is gridlocked by political polarity and moderates are becoming an endangered species in Washington. Maine can be proud of Republican Sen. Susan Collins on how she overcame gridlock at the top and “led from the middle.” In January 2019 she was instrumental in ending the unfortunate 35-day federal government shutdown. President Trump wanted $5.7 […]

Letter to the editor: Gideon’s negative ads spur vote for Collins
I am sick of the out-of-state, dark money, negative political ads being run by Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Sara Gideon‘s supporters. My favorite radio station hardly has time to play two songs between them. They grossly misrepresent facts and pollute our airwaves. I plan to register my protest by voting for Republican Sen. Susan Collins […]

Letter to the editor: Housing costs keep her on the road
Social media’s romanticized images of a footloose life leave out the many who live in their vans because they can’t afford to stay in one place.

Letter to the editor: Savage a standout in senatorial debate
I’m writing to say, “We need a Savage to fight for Maine in the U.S, Senate,” and to thank you for sponsoring the debate on Friday evening. I felt that Green Independent Lisa Savage stood out clearly as the most decisive and forthright of the four candidates. She also was the less rancorous and divisive, […]

Letter to the editor: Prospect of President Biden brings hope to ‘suburban housewife’
I am one of those “suburban housewives” Donald Trump thinks love him, but this suburban housewife doesn’t. In fact I am very scared right now, and it’s because of him. My family – like all of us in this country – still can’t all be together because of COVID-19. Had the president taken the lead […]
