This election, I’ll be proud to vote for Stacy Brenner for state Senate and Crescencia Maurer for Town Council, both of whom are keenly focused on the people and landscape of Scarborough. I’ve gotten to know each of them through local initiatives that support Scarborough Marsh, wildlife habitat, outdoor recreation, area farmers and other protections […]

I endorse Stacy Brenner as our state senator for District 30. I’ve known Brenner for nearly 15 years. Her hard work in fostering relationships and striving for inclusivity is a testament to her value as a leader. Brenner works to hear each other’s voices, making us all stronger. As a small business owner, Brenner understands […]

We are voting to reelect Stacy Brenner as state senator of District 30 this election. Brenner has been an excellent senator for Scarborough and Gorham. She has a proven track record on issues of critical importance, including the environment, health care, housing and small businesses. We know firsthand that she is a great listener and […]

I have lived in Scarborough for four years, moving here for the outdoor experiences and the connection Mainers have to nature. We are very lucky to have places such as Scarborough Marsh, Pleasant Hill Preserve, Higgins Beach, Blue Point Preserve and many more. As someone trained in ecology, I could write pages about why these […]

The explosive growth we have seen in Scarborough recently has one fundamental cause: Town leaders have consciously enacted pro-development policies. Voting for the $6 million land bond will do little if anything to reduce future growth. We simply cannot outbid developers for every prime development parcel. Growth can only be controlled through significantly tightening the […]

One of my first experiences in political spaces was at a school board meeting where I had the opportunity to meet Sen. Stacy Brenner. I was testifying about a transgender student policy amendment that would more effectively protect students, and when I heard Brenner speak in favor of the amendment with her clear and passionate […]

Having voted in the last 16 federal elections over the past 60 years, I know this 2024 election is different and the most consequential of my life. This election is not about economic, immigration or foreign policy. It is about something much more important – whether we keep our 250-year-old democratic republic or move toward […]
