Bobby Charles’ sister says she will vote for Hannah Pingree for Maine governor
Republican candidate for Maine governor Bobby Charles fields questions from the media during a visit to Phoenix House Recovery and Reentry Center in Lewiston in July.

Hold MaineCare to account | Letter
Maine people deserve accountability from MaineCare for its expenditure. It has nothing to do, in my opinion, with whether or not it affects my budget. The State of Maine collects money and the Legislature decides where to spend it. The Department of Health and Human Services needs to be held accountable for the monies given to it by the taxpayer.
Let’s rally together for more housing in Maine | Letter
As the cold weather approaches, Maine faces an urgent humanitarian crisis. We invite all community members, organizations and civic leaders to join a nonpartisan “Housing Now” rally at 4 p.m., Oct. 21, 2026, at Portland’s Monument Square. Co-hosted by the National Coalition for the Homeless and the Bring America Home Now campaign, this peaceful gathering transcends party lines. Safe, stable shelter is not a partisan issue. It is a fundamental human right.
I won’t be supporting Susan Collins | Letter
I realized a long time ago that there is no perfect candidate, like there is no perfect human. I will not be voting to reelect Sen. Susan Collins. I will focus on two reasons here. Collins previously voted against dismantling the Affordable Care Act. Since 2024, however, her fight for ACA diminished. After voting to procedurally advance the legislation, Sen. Collins voted “No” on the final passage of the “big, beautiful bill” (a symbolic vote?). The bill passed.
Ill winds are blowing for Republicans in Congress | Letter
We’re seeing lots of political ads reminding Maine people that Sen. Susan Collins’ role as chair of the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee has allowed her to bring in funding for various projects across our state. What these ads fail to acknowledge is that Senate committee chairmanships are held by members of the Senate’s majority party, and the balance of power in the Senate determines which party controls every standing committee.
I’m Bobby Charles’ sister. I’m voting for Hannah Pingree. | Opinion
Anita Charles lives in Lewiston. My mother taught me and my brother, Bobby Charles, that how we treat other people matters. She taught us to be compassionate, not to name-call or judge people by their race, gender, religion, country of origin or who they love. She taught us that differences do not diminish us, and that we have a responsibility to treat others with dignity. Those lessons shaped my entire life, as well as my career.
Inside the little-known drama over who pays for the CAT ferry’s border agents
The CAT high-speed ferry docked at Ocean Gateway in Portland in 2017. (Shawn Patrick Ouellette/Staff Photographer) Maine lawmakers are drawing attention to an unusual deal that has Canada paying for several full-time U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents to meet the seasonal Nova Scotia ferry in Bar Harbor. The service, known as the CAT, runs from May to October and can fit 800 people and 160 cars each trip. It’s the most direct route between Maine and Nova Scotia.
