Letter to the editor: Gideon will stand up for our reproductive rights
I am a local artist and small-business owner in Portland. Having a safe place to go for a checkup means a lot to me as a queer individual who is self-employed and without health insurance. I go to Planned Parenthood because it provides a safe and welcoming place to get health care and information – […]

Letter to the editor: Elect Skold in District 38 to help find climate solutions
I’m supporting Charles Skold for the Democratic nomination for state representative in Maine House District 38. I got to know Charles through the Portland Climate Action Team, and was delighted to see that the Sierra Club of Maine has also given Charles their first-choice endorsement.

Letter to the editor: Tugboats’ Portland display made July Fourth unforgettable
Luckily, we decided to go catch mackerel off the Maine State Pier this Fourth of July. We fished until dark because of the late tide. It was a surprise when the tugboats (from Portland Tugboat) saved the day with a fireworks display I will never forget. What genius to have them circle the harbor as […]

Letter to the editor: Grant ready to get to work for District 41
I have served in the Maine Legislature with Rep. Erik Jorgensen. Erik has been a respected and dedicated member of the Appropriations and Financial Affairs Committee. Erik is term-limited, and that’s why I am supporting Ben Grant in the District 41 Democratic primary. Ben will immediately be an effective and progressive voice for Portland in […]
