Recently, my two children and I visited Old Fort Western in Augusta. A docent mentioned the upcoming local election for House representative, and my 8-year-old said, “I’m voting for Bill Bridgeo!” He then pointed to me and said, “Well … she’s voting for Bill!”
He’s right. Our family — at least those of us who can vote — will be supporting Bill next month. We want someone we trust to lead our state, and I know I can trust Bill. I’ve known him since I was my son’s age, and throughout that time, he has consistently demonstrated his commitment to our community — both as our city manager and as our state representative.
We are grateful that Bill is willing to continue his service and urge our friends and neighbors to support him as well.

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.
