Letter: As senator, Lewis would protect most vulnerable
I’m writing in support of John Lewis for Senate District 29. Cape Elizabeth voters are learning about Anne Carney’s voting record in Augusta, and it’s not good. Carney voted to legalize prostitution in Maine (roll call No. 386) despite the testimony of Dee Clarke and other sex-trafficking victims. Carney voted to prevent police from investigating […]

Our library is exceptional at facilitating learning and creating meaningful connections and collaborations, but its current size has severely limited its capacity to do more, for more.

Our library is one of the primary providers of literacy programs for children ages 3 and under and their families. It supports digital literacy through training and free access to computers and the internet. Literacy […]

In the last session, she helped pass laws to expand educational opportunity across ages and systems, support jobs and small businesses, protect our environment, protect reproductive choice, and more. As a […]
