Barbara Rothe: ‘Hildie for the House’ in District 91

I enthusiastically support Hildie Lipson for state representative for District 91. Throughout her long career as a financial manager, Hildie has demonstrated the ability to address the state’s economic challenges and to understand and influence a state budget that serves Maine people. While this is her first foray into politics, she brings a wealth of […]

Elaine Makas: Lajoie offers local voice for Lewiston

I recently received a mailer from a group in Florida urging me to thank my current representative to the Maine Legislature for his leadership in fighting for U.S. congressional term limits, an issue over which our state Legislature has no control. Why on Earth should I vote for a person to supposedly “represent” me, just […]

Jack Day: Vote for Poliquin, oppose ‘failed Biden policies’

The Biden Administration restricted domestic energy production. When Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine, Russia’s energy became more valuable; Putin and his oligarchs became richer. Europe seeks to boycott Russian energy, but its capacity to do so is limited by reduced U.S. production as backstop. President Biden went to Saudi Arabia, Iran and Venezuela begging for oil. […]

Roger Whitehouse: House 75 candidate Estabrook ‘puts the needs of the many first’

Tiffany Estabrook, running for House District 75, is very active with Chesterville, serving as a selectperson for several years as well as helping the town to better its internet, which in my opinion is needed to keep up with the modern era. Tiffany is a wonderful, kind and just individual who puts the needs of […]

Eric Heath: Foster would ‘stand up to big government’ as District 86 rep

Maine ranks as one of the worst states in the U.S. for business. This needs to change. We need legislators who understand business and can work to improve the work climate here in Maine. That is why I’m voting for Greg Foster. With almost three decades of small business experience in our state, he understands […]

Richard LaFontaine: Lee a dedicated, hardworking candidate for House District 89

I have known Adam Lee for more than 10 years. In that time, I have known him as hardworking, bright, articulate, and dedicated to Auburn. He cares for the residents of Maine, he listens, he takes action. His dedication and work are evidenced by his time as a city councilor, certainly his legal career, and […]

Klara Tammany: Rotundo ‘a tireless advocate’ for her constituents

As a Lewiston resident, I wholeheartedly support Peggy Rotundo’s candidacy for Maine Senate from District 21. Peggy is a compassionate listener and skillful consensus builder who knows how to solve problems. I am most grateful for her consistent attention to the economic needs of those who struggle most, especially older Mainers and those who are […]

John Smedley: Rotundo ‘a strong environmental advocate’ for Senate District 21

Margaret Rotundo has an outstanding record of service in the Maine Legislature, demonstrating compassionate commitment to enhancing Mainers’ lives. She stands for election in Senate District 21. Among her many accomplishments are significant efforts on behalf of the Maine environment. She sponsored legislation to upgrade the classification level of the Androscoggin River and was a […]

Faye Luppi and Mark Hyland: Sheats ‘has dedicated her life to public service’

We strongly support Bettyann Sheats for State Senate District 20, which includes Poland, Auburn, Durham, Minot and New Gloucester. Bettyann has dedicated her life to public service, as illustrated by her eight years of service as an Army helicopter pilot after graduating from West Point, a long history of local volunteer and leadership roles, and […]
