    Nash Callahan shows up for Augusta | Letter (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Whether you vote early in person, by mail, or in person on Nov. 3, please join me in voting for Saunders “Nash” Callahan for Augusta City Council. As an at-large city councilor, part of my job is taking calls from our entire community. Each time Nash Callahan calls me, I am impressed with his understanding of the issues, the depth and nuance of his thinking, and the practicality of his ideas. It was not difficult to write this letter for Nash — I think it may have been our second conversation wh

    Rick Bennett can help unify a house divided | Letter (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” In these times of division and danger, Abraham Lincoln’s prophetic words still ring true today. Our democracy cannot stand without an informed, aroused, consensus-seeking voting public. The current level of public conversation is a petty, mindless, toxic gabble: polls, personal scandals, campaign strategies, money raised for campaign war chests. But in Maine’s current political race, I know of one candidate who persistently strives to raise the leve

    Maine must give Troy Jackson a shot | Letter (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Sen. Susan Collins has been an ideal representative for Maine for 30 years and I have voted for her five times in that period. Having said that, she must be voted out in November. Here’s why. Despite Collins’ often bipartisan stance, there is one vote she will almost certainly cast solely on party basis: her vote for Senate majority leader. And that person is the sole individual in Washington who decides what the Senate shall consider. A very important gatekeeper indeed. Choosing the lesser of t

    Vote with your personal economy in mind | Letter (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Ronald Reagan used a very effective and catchy campaign slogan when he ran against Jimmy Carter: “Are you better off than you were four years ago?” A modified version of that may be applicable today: Are you better off now than you were one year ago? Before casting your ballot in this upcoming election, may I suggest a trip to your local gas station and supermarket. The answer should become apparent.

    Do you know about Rick Bennett? He might know about you. | Letter (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Although I was on the ballot for governor of Maine as an independent candidate in 2022, most of you will never have heard of me. During my campaign, I was invited to the annual awards picnic for Defend Our Health outside of Portland. I didn’t know anyone there but wore my name tag. Rick Bennett was there receiving an award, which I thought was a little unusual. A Republican getting an award for environmental work? Come to find out, he has a reputation as the most moderate Republican state senato
