Well, here we are again with an election just around the corner, and Susan Collins is using campaign slogans from the year 2000, not from 2006 and up. She’s been in for 24 years — time for a change. We used to matter to her, but not anymore. She’s not the same at all since […]

Two years ago, I met Gabe Perkins and was impressed with his intelligence, leadership, and passion. These attributes make Gabe an incredible problem-solver.  Gabe is always the person sitting around the table bringing everyone together to get big things done. Gabe’s greatest asset is his optimistic outlook. He has a positivity about him that is […]

I am writing in strong support of Roland Poirier’s candidacy for Androscoggin County commissioner, District 2. Roland has a strong financial background, having served for many years as an executive for one of Maine’s credit unions. He has a deep connection to this community with a long history of service.

I am grateful that he has been working tirelessly to protect and improve the way of life for the citizens of Maine.

I know some people are judging President Trump by looks, his hair, and his lies (don’t we all lie?). If God can forgive, why can’t we? President Trump is pro-life; he does not want babies murdered. He works for all of us. I am a Christian and a Democrat, and I will be voting for […]
