MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR THE REMAINING CANDIDATE FORUMS!
All Republican candidates for the Maine House and Senate districts within Lincoln County will participate in candidate forums hosted by the Lincoln County News, with some co-hosted by the Boothbay Register. Forums will be held between Sept. 26 and Oct. 10 in Boothbay, Damariscotta, Dresden, Wiscasset, and Waldoboro.
The five nonpartisan forums are designed to provide voters information they need to make an informed choice about who should represent them in the Maine Legislature.
At each forum, candidates will have two minutes to introduce themselves at the beginning and two minutes for closing statements at the end. In between, they will field questions from the moderator, with each candidate receiving two minutes to respond. Moderators will ask questions submitted in advance by Lincoln County residents. To submit your question, email editor@lcnme.com and as a matter or record, please send a copy of your questions to lcrcmaine@gmail.com Thank you!

Ed Harmon, President of Boothbay V.E.T.S. (Veterans Emergency Temporary Shelter), and Vice President Arthur Richardson addressed the October LCRC meeting in Boothbay. Ed spoke at length about his grassroots efforts to help homeless veterans. What they have accomplished starting only with an idea and no funding is a tribute to Maine ingenuity, perseverance, and work effort.
It started with a refurbished trailer and has progressed to retrofitting new utility trailers into miniature homes. Presently there are 17 units all over Maine with 4 under construction and efforts in place to expand their construction site, raise more money, and to construct and place more units. It was an inspirational story of dedicated and motivated people – a Mother Teresa story set in Maine told by a 6-tour Vietnam Veteran complete with stories of tears, gratitude, and even disbelief from the recipients and of lives being changed.
Ed is willing to speak to any group upon request. Contact Ed at boothbayvets@protonmail.com . Click on the photo to visit their website.
Maine V.E.T.S. were recently featured on Maine 207.
