Ominous signs for Donald Trump in new post-debate poll
A new Fox News national poll suggests Donald Trump suffered real damage in his first debate with Hillary Clinton – not just losing the debate, but sliding in some key measures of voter confidence in his ability to serve as president. Compared to the same poll’s results before the debate, Clinton’s standing improved relative to […]

Boland for Maine Senate
I doubt if there’s anyone out there more deserving of our trust and confidence than Andrea Boland for Maine state Senate. She is a fixture here in Sanford. As a young housewife, she lost her Vietnam veteran husband to cancer, leaving her two young children. She picked herself up by her bootstraps and expanded her […]

Without the Granite State’s 4 electoral votes, things don’t look good.” Then the statewide organization for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign listed […]
Lauzon brings hope to Biddeford
It is revitalizing to have Matt Lauzon of Biddeford running for state Representative. He is running as an Independent, which in a way indicates he is for everyone, with no partisan requirements to meet or maintain. His true concern for those of us living in Biddeford, his pro-business attitude and conservative approach to spending are […]
Grohman gets high marks
In my 30 years in the communications business, I’ve had the opportunity to interact with many elected officials, including many state legislators. Some have been impressive, some not so much. The impressive ones have ample native intelligence, really care about trying to make things better for this city, and most of all, display a passion […]
