Supporting Harris for president

To the editor:
My husband Stan was 74 years old when he died. Caring for him after his stroke, worrying about him day after day, wondering whether he would recover or succumb, while carrying my full-time job as Attorney General, was the worst year of my life and one of the worst times for my family.

Why I support Freeman

To the editor:
I moved to The County from Seattle in 2021 to open the first Royal Leaf Apothecary store on Main Street in Presque Isle.  However, before I could move forward, I needed approval from the City Council, chaired by Kevin Freeman.

Supporting Matt Rush for Maine Senate

To the editor:
I am writing in support of Matt Rush, my friend and a first-time candidate for State Senate District 2. Like so many of us here in The County, Matt worked at an early age on his family’s potato farm, Rush Brothers Farms, and learned the importance of a strong work ethic.
