I have never written publicly about political issues; however, I felt it my responsibility to write expressing my support for our Republican senator, Susan Collins. While I was employed at local television stations, Sen. Collins was always the most gracious and kind of all political guests. The fact that Sen. Collins doesn’t always decide issues […]

Letter to the editor: Don’t let ire at Trump cloud view of Collins’ achievements
It’s clear that Sara Gideon’s trying to have things both ways. She’s (wrongly) claiming that Sen. Susan Collins is beholden to the president, voting with him 94 percent of the time, but then she is critical of the fact that Sen. Collins won’t publicly take sides on his bid for re-election. The fact is, Sen. […]
Letter to the editor: Susan Collins is the outsider here
“This race is built on a foundation of falsehoods,” Sen. Susan Collins said recently. She should know. Her ad featuring Bill Green declares that Sara Gideon’s campaign is supported by out-of-state interests who “don’t give a darn” about Maine. Yet contributions of at least $200 from Mainers made up 14 percent of Gideon’s total and […]
Letter to the editor: Gideon will bring grit, candor, compassion to Washington
I want to share how my experiences working with Democrat Sara Gideon have influenced my unwavering support for her as a candidate for the U.S. Senate from Maine. First of all, Sara is tough. She has a level of determination and fearlessness that is very inspiring. Dealing with then-Gov. Paul LePage is not a challenge […]
Letter to the editor: Sen. Collins has proven record of bipartisan leadership
Maine voters are being taken advantage of by TV ads attacking Republican Sen. Susan Collins and misrepresenting her record. Unprecedented amounts of out-of-state dark money have paid for these misleading ads by special interest groups not concerned about Maine. Sen. Collins has a proven record of bipartisan leadership in the U.S. Senate. She has used […]
Letter to the editor: Scarborough students take inspiring stand
They justifiably questioned a ban on teachers saying ‘Black Lives Matter’ on school grounds during election week.
Letter to the editor: Susan Collins is the best choice for Maine
Republican Sen. Susan Collins has worked tirelessly for the people of Maine and deserves our support for re-election to the U.S. Senate. She has attained the seniority in the Senate where she will be able to benefit Mainers far more than a first-term senator. In their effort to put the Senate Democrats in the majority, […]
Letter to the editor: Rivard will work hard on behalf of all in Maine Senate District 30
As longtime residents of Buxton, we are thrilled to cast our votes for our chiropractor, Republican Sara Rivard, for Maine Senate in District 30. As patients of Sara’s, we have seen firsthand her qualifications to represent the people of Maine Senate District 30. Sara is fair, open-minded, respectful of differences, compassionate, a great listener and […]
Letter to the editor: Brenner will make a difference for Maine Senate District 30
As a retired health care professional, I cannot think of a better representative for District 30 in the Maine Senate than Democrat Stacy Brenner, and I am delighted to recommend her to voters without reservation. Stacy is an experienced, highly qualified nurse and midwife, who had no hesitation in stepping up in the middle of […]
Letter to the editor: Brenner’s Maine Senate proposals will rely on evidence
I am writing to support Democrat Stacy Brenner for Maine Senate representing District 30. I have known Stacy since the early days of Broadturn Farm, when she brought locally grown food to our town. Since then, Stacy has continued to add value to our communities with the farm and by creating a beautiful venue for […]
