Letter to the editor: Hardworking Sen. Collins puts aside partisanship
As the state representative for Hollis, I take great pride in my ability to put partisanship aside to work with my colleagues in Augusta on policies that make our community, and the state of Maine, a better and more prosperous place to live.

Letter to the editor: Proud Gold Star mother supports Sen. Collins’ re-election
I am the proud Gold Star mother of Army Ranger Capt. Christopher S. Cash. He served our nation with pride for 18 years. Christopher was killed in the Battle of Baqubah on June 24, 2004, in Iraq.

Letter to the editor: Elect caring Fournier, not dismissive Costa, to City Council
Councilor Justin Costa was the first elected official I remember having a conversation with. It was 2015, and City Manager Jon Jennings had just proposed closing the India Street Clinic. If that happened, my partner would lose his doctor. When I met with District 4 Councilor Costa, he dismissed my concerns. He said the clinic […]

Letter to the editor: Costa’s knowledge of city, schools vital to Portland council
I’m writing to urge Portlanders to vote Justin Costa for City Council at large. I’ve worked with Justin on the school board and during his time as District 4 city councilor.

Letter to the Editor: Gideon would be a senator who protects us
I want a U.S. senator who protects me. Why should the greatest tax breaks benefit the wealthiest? What about struggling middle-class workers? Who will protect pre-existing conditions when the Affordable Care Act is heading for the chopping block? Who will truly be a moderate voice in the U.S Senate? Social Security is not an entitlement […]
