Telehealth, the delivery of medical services through video technology, has played a prominent role in our response to the COVID-19 crisis. In Maine alone, Northern Light Health went from a couple hundred visits per month to over 36,000 in April. Unfortunately, Maine’s current broadband infrastructure cannot support this important service. Broadband Now ranks Maine 43rd […]

I’m supporting Charles Skold for the Democratic nomination for state representative in Maine House District 38. I got to know Charles through the Portland Climate Action Team, and was delighted to see that the Sierra Club of Maine has also given Charles their first-choice endorsement.

The Democratic Party is lucky to have three wonderful U.S. Senate candidates, and ranked-choice voting to put them in your order of preference.
