Michael Lemelin, R-Chelsea, is running for reelection in House District 53.
On Oct. 25 of last year, Robert Card shot and killed 18 people, wounding 13 others.
On April 10 of this year, Lemelin stood in the House Chamber and spoke the following: “When 1619 passed and went into law on Oct. 25, you told God life doesn’t matter. Keep in mind that the law came into effect on Oct. 25. God heard you and the horrible events on Oct. 25 happened.”
Lemelin is unfit to serve us.
His opponent, Judy Tunkle, D-Dresden), is a sensible option. If you can’t vote for her (wrong ideas, wrong party, etc.), please consider writing in the candidate of your choice or leaving that square blank.
Such callous disregard for the innocent lives of our fellow Mainers must not be rewarded.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
By joining the conversation, you are agreeing to our commenting policy and terms of use. More information is found on our FAQs.
