Senate Race

To the Editor:
As a registered Independent, I vote according to whom I feel is the best candidate and not the political party. This my personal experience with Susan Collins and her staff.

Experience and integrity matter

To the editor:
  We are writing in support of Mike Carpenter for the Maine Senate. A man of experience and insight, integrity and empathy, wisdom and bipartisanship, Carpenter stands in contrast to his opponent, Harold Stewart, a young man well on his way preparing to be a career politician and demonstrating a commitment to Trump party-line policies and practices that favor the elite, and do the bidding of monied interests, regardless of potentially harmful effects on ordinary Mainers.

Supporting Caribou city councilor

To the editor:
I am saddened to read in the Aroostook Republican that five citizens are seeking to recall Caribou city councilor Doug Morrell. Why weren’t the citizens identified? Are our votes for Doug meaningless?

Change is needed for health care

To the editor:
The song “You Are My Sunshine” is a song we sang to our young son, William. One that he grew up to love. Tragically, on Aug. 23, our sunshine was taken away at the age of 45 after suffering a pulmonary embolism.

Ready to make a change in Augusta

To the Editor: 
Maine is in the midst of an aging crisis. By 2030, more than 25 percent of Mainers will be 65 or older, exacerbating challenges already confronting our elders and communities.

In support of Councilor Morrell

To the editor:
This letter is in support of Councilor Morrell’s conduct on the Caribou City Council. I have known the man all of his life and he has the same values today as he did when he was on the council in 2006-2008.

Debate made choice clear

To the editor:
After watching the Senate candidate debate on Friday night [Sept. 11], two things became clear to us. Senator Collins represents the past while Sara Gideon represents the future.
