The vandalism of Sen. Susan Collins’ Biddeford office should be a moment of clarity in this U.S. Senate race. Somebody spray-painted the door with a degrading, sexist slur, and a disturbing number of people online have applauded it. That kind of politics doesn’t care about fixing Maine’s problems; it cares only about winning the fight, […]

This election is about reclaiming the federal government | Letter
The ongoing Susan Collins vs. Troy Jackson debate is a great example of not seeing the forest but for the trees. The real issue for the upcoming midterm election is not which senator should represent Maine, but how do we, the citizens, wrest control back from an administration exemplified by cruelty, incompetence, corruption, self-aggrandizement and […]

We need Susan Collins’ experience and work ethic more than ever | Letter
As a business owner in Maine, I want to express my support for Sen. Susan Collins in the upcoming election. Sen. Collins has served Maine for decades, and during that time she has consistently worked to bring federal resources and opportunities to our state. Her seniority and experience in Washington, D.C. — and particularly her […]

Maine should vote against Trump | Letter
As we cast votes in Maine’s U.S. Senate race this year, we should remember that President Trump has asked voters to pretend that he’s on the ballot. For once, I agree with him. Trump’s domestic and foreign policies have been disastrous, with tariffs, rising inflation and and war in Iran at the top of a […]

Susan Collins is too close to Trump | Letter
Many of us in Maine have been wondering why the perpetually “concerned” Sen. Susan Collins continues to vote for right-wing activist judges and dangerously unqualified cabinet secretaries. In recent reporting, I think we have our answer: the killing of the investigation into Sen. Susan Collins’ alleged pay-to-play campaign corruption involving Martin Kao, the now-jailed former […]

In grief, good memories can be comforting | Letter
I, like Professor Barbara Held in the case of her sister, don’t deny that my beloved husband died (“Grief is not a problem to be solved,” Opinion, Sept. 29). We seem to agree there is no one to be angry with — neither one of us believes in God — but, unlike her, I am […]

To tackle nicotine addiction, we need federal resources | Letter
I agree with the concern expressed about protecting Maine youth from nicotine addiction (“Susan Collins questions Trump’s FDA nominee about vapes, drugs for rare diseases,” Sept. 24). But if we are going to talk about protecting children, we should also talk about what has happened to the federal infrastructure responsible for tobacco prevention. On April […]

A recent SCOTUS decision makes it clear that digital dragnet surveillance can infringe on constitutional protections.

Matt Dunlap is the man for Congress | Letter
This is a letter supporting Matt Dunlap for Congress in Maine’s 2nd Congressional District. As governor, Paul LePage vetoed more than 600 bills, including Medicaid expansion and a number of housing and infrastructure bills. Back then, he did not have concern for the citizens of this state and there is no reason to believe he […]
