A March 10 letter said that voters were in an “absolute rush to ‘dump’ Janet Mills” as the Democratic Senate nominee. Many of us are grateful for Mills’ long service, while recognizing that a generational change in Washington, D.C., is overdue and necessary if our republic is to survive. I greatly respect Mills, and am […]

Enough about Mills and Platner. What about Costello? | Letter
I just read a March 11 letter from a Maine voter who was dismayed at what what he sees as a lack of choice in the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate (“Where are the true progressive candidates for Maine?”) .

Housing is one of the biggest challenges facing Maine today, and it will be one of the most important issues our next governor must address. That’s why I am supporting Hannah Pingree for governor. Over the course of this campaign, Hannah has traveled across Maine listening to residents, housing providers and community leaders about what […]
