I am writing in support of reelecting Democrat Stacy Brenner to the Senate from Scarborough and Gorham. I have known Stacy since 2017 as we worked together on a team of physicians and advanced practice nurses teaching immigrant women English lessons about their bodies. As a certified nurse-midwife, Stacy would carefully answer their questions about […]

Letter to the editor: Bagshaw will focus on constituents’ needs
On Nov. 8, voters get a chance to weigh in on the direction of our state. Barbara Bagshaw of Windham turned in her papers for District 106 state representative in November – some 10 months ago. It wasn’t a hasty decision. She counted the cost. She cleared her commitments. That’s what I want in a […]

The voters of Sagadahoc County and Dresden, Senate District 23, have one more opportunity to reelect Democratic Sen. Eloise Vitelli. I have known Eloise Vitelli for years, but for the last six, I have had the fortune to have her as my senator and colleague. She is among the finest legislators I know, which is […]

Letter to the editor: Hunkler the best choice for governor of Maine
This fall, we have a rare opportunity to choose a candidate for governor who has spent his life helping people as a medical doctor, instead of playing politician. Independent Sam Hunkler has no political party behind him, and no wealthy donors own him. His face will appear on television only in an interview or as […]

Letters to the editor: Election endorsements and denouncements
On Thelander’s conspiracies I am writing in response to the top story in Friday’s Times Record (“Thelander says touting fringe myths was a mistake”). Given how “out there” the rumors were, and how they were accepted and repeated by Mr. Thelander, my reaction is to say how glad I am to have Rep. Pingree as […]

Letter to the editor: Reelect Gov. Mills to promote healthier Maine
As a family physician, health advocate and legislator, I’ve appreciated how Gov. Mills, a Democrat, has dramatically advanced Maine’s health and vibrancy during tough times. Mills administration leadership took us from arguably the most vulnerable to being among the best-performing states versus COVID-19. A year before the virus was discovered, she activated public health mechanisms […]

Letter to the editor: Mills believes in collaboration, not confrontation
So much has been achieved these last four years in Augusta: funding schools at 55 percent; giving 90,000 Mainers access to affordable health care; Maine emerging as a leader in dealing with and preparing for the effects of climate change; addressing “forever chemicals” (PFAS) contamination, and more. This is because Gov. Mills, a Democrat, believes […]
