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 […]

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 […]

This election season Scarborough residents will have the opportunity to vote to replenish the Scarborough Parks and Conservation Land Board funding by voting “yes” on referendum Question No. 3. This funding has been used to protect hundreds of acres of land, water access and recreational opportunities in Scarborough, including Broadturn Farm, Pleasant Hill Preserve, the […]

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 […]

Scarborough is growing fast. Our town is close to Portland, has some of the best beaches in the state and is a growing business community. Those can be good things, but they also create real challenges as we try to find the right balance between creating new and protecting what we already have. Question 3 […]

A misguided assertion has been circulating that protecting our land and waters from rapid development should be paid for only through donations. That assertion reflects a lack of understanding of how land protection projects are successfully funded across Maine, especially in highly competitive and expensive real estate markets like Scarborough where properties sell quickly. Land […]

I’m writing in support of Don Hamill for state Senate. He truly cares about those he represents and listens intently to any concerns you may have. He has been out knocking on doors for the last three months almost every day, meeting with and talking to many residents about what’s important to them. He is […]

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 grew up in Scarborough and spent countless hours on and around the Scarborough Marsh. I’m now teaching, coaching and raising a family in Scarborough because of its natural beauty and quality of life. My family loves to hike the Scarborough Land Trust trails. We appreciate the Higgins Beach parking in our many surfing outings. […]

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 […]
