Letter to the editor: Lookner will be a progressive voice for District 37 voters
I have seen firsthand the amazing work Grayson Lookner puts into his community, the city of Portland and the state of Maine. Portland and our state needs a new generation of passionate leadership, particularly a younger voice who knows how we can keep talented folks in our state. Our future economy depends on it. Most […]

As a lifelong registered Republican, and often very involved locally wherever I was living, I am now giving serious consideration to voting for Sara Gideon in the Democratic U.S. Senate primary for a few reasons. I have been watching Sara over the last several months, with her town hall meetings either televised or on Zoom. […]
Letter to the Editor: ‘Bluenoser’s’ advice for election 2020
Since Nova Scotia’s “Bluenosers” and “down east Mainahs” have so much in common, I feel somewhat entitled to write this letter to my Yankee brethren.

Letter to the Editor: Greene is right choice District 29 Senate seat
Sari Greene is the perfect candidate for the Democratic nomination for the Maine State Senate for District 29 of South Portland, Cape Elizabeth, and parts of Scarborough. Her background, skills, values, experience, and priorities are an excellent match for getting Maine back on its economic feet after the pandemic while continuing to promote a healthy […]
