I am writing to support Raegan LaRochelle for Senate District 15 because she believes in science and facts, which is crucial in today’s world. As a retired educator of science education, I am deeply committed to teaching my students the importance of evidence-based knowledge and critical thinking. Raegan shares these values, and I admire her dedication to making decisions grounded in science, whether it’s about public health, education, or the environment.
We need leaders who prioritize facts and reason over misinformation, and Raegan is exactly that kind of leader. She understands that for our community to thrive, we need thoughtful policies based on reality, not ideology. Her commitment to education, her respect for facts, and her belief in science make her the right choice for our future. I trust her to make informed decisions that will benefit all of us, and that’s why I strongly support Raegan for Senate.

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.
