Jordan Wood is the best qualified candidate to replace Graham Platner as the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate and he has expressed interest in serving. In his own words on his website: “I’ll lead the fight to pass Medicare for All, pass sweeping anti-corruption reform, and stand up to Trump’s lawlessness.” Why are the media […]

Nirav Shah for US Senate | Letter
I encourage Maine voters to support Dr. Nirav Shah’s candidacy to become Maine’s next senator for several reasons. Shah has experience and knowledge that would serve Maine well. With a background in healthcare, law and economics, he is by far the most knowledgeable candidate to work on issues such as healthcare, cost of living and immigration. Having […]

ICE agents poorly trained, making bad excuses | Letter
Entering this country unlawfully is considered a misdemeanor. Yet we have seen time and time again it is being used to justify excessive force by this presidential administration. How many times have we heard that someone “weaponized” their car? Our local law enforcement deserves our respect but it seems to be poorly trained federal officials […]

Maine Democrats would do well to stay on Platner’s page | Letter
I’m done with hearing that the Graham Platner campaign was a failed experiment for Maine Democrats. I am tired of listening to pundits heap abuse on Graham, his supporters and our common-sense, progressive message when our focus should be on the positive things we learned from the campaign. Graham garnered more than 156,000 votes in […]

The best photos you’ll take in Maine are of nature | Letter
You blew it big time with a recent column on places in Maine for the best photos (“12 of Maine’s most irresistible photo ops,” July 6). The best options in Maine are not man-made. They are the natural places that we have been blessed with, along ocean frontage, the 3,400-plus miles of what we are […]

Another term for ‘conservatives’ | Letter
Radicals! That is my answer to Jean Bryenton’s query about what we should call today’s so-called conservatives (“Conservatives are not living up to their name,” July 8). The word “radical” is derived from the Latin word radix, meaning root. Project 2025, a policy blueprint from far-right Republicans, was designed to radically restructure the executive branch, consolidating power […]

Nirav Shah for U.S. Senate | Letter
Nirav Shah should be the Democratic candidate for Senate for Maine. He has already proven that his calm, reasonable leadership can guide the people of Maine through difficult times. Dr. Shah won the most votes in the first round of voting in the gubernatorial race. Democratic candidates Shenna Bellows, Troy Jackson and Hannah Pingree formed […]

Maine’s outrage should stem violent overreach by ICE | Letter
Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero was killed by ICE agents in Biddeford in yet another tragic, violent overreaction by ICE agents. These overreactions have killed too many American citizens and community residents who are immigrants with legal standing. The video obtained by this newspaper of the shooting and the rapid, outraged response of Biddeford residents, then […]
