Jonathan Sahrbeck’s bid to be reelected Cumberland County district attorney begins June 14, the day of the Democratic primary. I urge all Democrats to support Mr. Sahrbeck. Many candidates talk a good game – but Jonathan acts! My personal experience with him has come from many directions. A true reformer, he has found a balance […]

Please consider reelecting Jonathan Sahrbeck for Cumberland County district attorney. There will be a Democratic primary for this election June 14. MaineWorks exclusively employs people in recovery from substance use disorder and reentry from jail and prison.

I write this letter in simple sentences because the solution to this complex problem is simple. Fox News is evil. Fox News teaches hate.

I wish to add my voice to the special election in Scarborough on June 14 and ask voters to join me in supporting Peter Freilinger for the open Town Council position. I live in West Scarborough, an area that is often overlooked in planning. My conversations with Peter show he’s thinking about the entire town […]

I am outraged by the Friends of the DaPonte String Quartet board’s recent decision (May 13) to “fire” the quartet members. I am a longtime supporter, volunteer, donor and former board member.
