Vote Brad Hicks out. He, along with every other Republican, only cares about lining his own pockets with our quality of life and our tax $. Hold your nose, if you have to, and vote for the Democrat.

@petersage.bsky.social Who is really behind all of this? Not the candidates. The people behind the curtain pushing division, leaks, anonymous attacks, and political sabotage inside their own party. There is rot here. If it is not confronted honestly, it will destroy the party from within.

Politics—good politics—is public service. There is no life or occupation in which a man can find a greater opportunity to serve his community or his country. This is my light. — Harry S. Truman

People in Maine treasure their right to vote. The SAVE Act undermines that right. I’ve fought to stop voter suppression efforts in Maine, and I’ll do the same in the U.S. Senate.

Last week I said a farewell to our four wonderful Medford City Councilors. Many years of discussions about how to improve the place we all care about, and the pathways to do so. Thanks to Sarah Spansail, Tim D’Alessandro, Eric Stark, and Chad Miller for their service to Medford. #orpol
