For Maine governor, I am excited to vote for Secretary of State Shenna Bellows and former House Speaker Hannah Pingree. Maine Democrats are lucky to have two incredibly talented and experienced women running for our governor. I plan on ranking Shenna and Hannah as my top two. When women lead, economies respond. States with women […]

Troy Jackson has the experience Maine needs | Letter
On the first day of early voting, I proudly cast my ballot for Troy Jackson for governor. I have known him since 2014 and although the other candidates in the race are all smart, accomplished people, only Jackson has the unique combination of leadership skills, legislative experience, labor credentials, personal history, big achievable ideas and […]

Rep. Golden proposal wrong for whales, lobstermen | Letter
Rep. Jared Golden’s recently introduced bill to freeze regulations to protect the North Atlantic right whale is ill-timed and unnecessary. The lobster industry has demonstrated a desire to protect this critically endangered species. And the state and federal government are working hard to proceed with development and public consideration of new rules that will protect […]

Grift, fraud? The VP is part of an administration that knows all about it.

Support Jonathan Bush for governor | Letter
Throughout my years in public service — from the Maine Legislature to the diplomatic corps — I have seen firsthand that leadership is defined by results, not rhetoric. Jonathan Bush is a proven CEO with an impressive track record of success, including creating over 1,000 jobs in Maine. He possesses the executive discipline required to […]

Comments on ‘No Kings’ protesters were deeply ironic | Letter
Clem Bechard’s recent letter to the editor, “‘No Kings’ protesters should have more decency,” provides a perfect example of irony in the extreme. “There are no kings and there never will be.” Really? President Trump has posted memes of himself wearing a golden crown, and let’s not forget the picture of himself as Jesus healing […]

Palestinian life is the moral test of our time | Letter
May 15 marked the 78th Nakba Day, a day observed by Palestinians after experiencing the Nakba, or the Catastrophe, at the hands of Zionist colonial settlers and their militias. A campaign of atrocities befell the Palestinians when Zionists, under the guise of representing Judaism (and not the ethno-supremacy ideology it was), destroyed villages through violent […]

Matt Dunlap for Congress | Letter
State Auditor Matt Dunlap is running for Maine’s 2nd Congressional District. He is a certified internal auditor. There are not enough real certified accounting people in Congress. Dunlap will be able to use his skills to reverse the Trump and GOP policies that are bankrupting our country and producing illegal corruption in Washington, D.C. Dunlap […]

Maine should crack down on Cooke Aquaculture | Letter
Maine, like Washington, was built by people who respect the sea. That legacy is being desecrated — and our elected officials are letting it happen. A new undercover investigation has, again, exposed brutal conditions at Cooke Aquaculture’s salmon hatchery in Bingham — animals slammed into concrete, unchecked disease, filthy overcrowded tanks. This is not new. […]
