Lianna Holden: U.S. Sen. King works to enact gun safety changes
October 2023 was a dark month in Lewiston. I know it all too well and have vivid memories of lockdown. I was terrified. But gun violence did not begin on Oct. 25. Every lockdown drill at school and conversation among peers about what we would do if tragedy strikes — these are all daily reminders […]
Jon Fitzgerald: Senator King Shows up and Makes a Difference
Senator Angus King has earned my vote in November and I know having him return to the US Senate is good for Maine and the nation. Although we have become accustomed to his common-sense approach to governing in the Senate and during his time as Maine’s Chief Executive, the need for calm and rational dialog […]
Sue Mackey Andrews: Angus King is a True Leader for Our State
When someone asks me to describe Maine, I tell them we’re like a big family. When someone is in need, we drop everything to make sure that person has food on the table, a roof over their head, and medical care if needed. Over the years, as a volunteer with Helping Hands with Heart, I […]
Josh Broder: Sen. King stays focused on keeping Mainers connected
Over the course of my career in telecommunications, I have personally witnessed the impact that high-speed, affordable, reliable broadband connection can have for people across Maine. It’s not just important for staying in touch with loved ones – it is essential for access to health care, education and economic opportunity. That is why we are […]
Meredith Jones: Supporting Sen. Angus King for Reelection
In an earlier conversation with a wise Republican mentor, I asked for his thoughts about Senator King’s decision to run for a third term. I mused aloud about the baby boomers among us who seem reluctant to relinquish leadership positions, preventing the next generation from stepping up. Stepping aside might make sense, he said. He […]
Mike Saxl: Our country desperately needs more Angus Kings
I had the great honor of serving in the Maine Legislature for the eight years that Sen. Angus King served as our governor. Over that time, Gov. King hosted a weekly breakfast for all of the House and Senate leaders. Those breakfasts forged some bipartisan consensus, but perhaps just as importantly, a sense of mutual […]
Andy Shepard: King is the leader we need in uncertain times
Our country has become bitterly divided and our politics have both driven and reflected that truth. I know I’m not alone in deeply regretting that reality and hoping to find common ground again. It’s clear to me that the path back to that common ground is leadership based on shared values, not blind obedience to […]
Gene Geiger: Sen. King ‘knows and cares about Mainers’
Our company doors have always been open wide for politicians to talk with our Geiger employees, but no one ever has been more engaging than U.S. Sen. Angus King. He consistently took time for genuine and in-depth conversations with people about what they were doing and why. He asked, learned, and connected in his wonderful, […]
Bruce Hauptli: Reelect Sen. Angus King
Sen. Angus King is running for reelection against three opponents, and in my opinion, there is no one more qualified or more experienced to represent Maine in the U.S. Senate. As an independent, he has worked tirelessly to promote bipartisan solutions to our biggest problems. He is a firm advocate for lowering drug and health […]
Roger Katz: Glad Angus King is running for re-election
I don’t know about you, but I’m getting increasingly sick of the unproductive noise from Washington, D.C. That’s why I’m very glad that Sen. Angus King announced he is running for re-election to keep getting things done in the Senate for Maine and the country. As a former Republican state senator, I still remember Ronald […]
