No Congressional Run for Me; My Focus is Maine

February 29th, 2012 by rosascarcelli

People have been very kind in contacting me to see if I was interested in running for the United States Congress. It’s been a great opportunity to reconnect with friends and supporters from my campaign, and it’s flattering to be considered. But now is not the right time for me to run.

My focus is on Maine and my family, not on Washington.

I care deeply about Maine and our state’s future, and will continue to work to put us on the path to economic growth and prosperity. But that work, for me, is here at home, not in the Congress.

Grand Opening of the Bethel Area District Exchange

December 16th, 2011 by rosascarcelli

Cathy Newell, past president of the Exchange, was there for the Grand Opening.

Help Yes on 1 Get on the Air

The Protect Maine Votes/Yes on 1 campaign has released its first television ad of the campaign.

Voting rights are worth fighting for. Vote Yes on 1 on November 8th.

Former Marine Resources Commissioner Norman Olsen offered a peek inside the inner workings of the LePage administration yesterday when he abruptly resigned his position.

In a lengthy public statement, Olsen laid out a stinging indictment of the governor and his unwillingness to stand up to special interests, support his rhetoric with action and manage state government. Olsen went so far as to predict that the administration would cover up a report that would be unflattering to the department and some members of the fishing industry.

But there was one piece of information, if true, that demonstrates a dangerous vindictiveness on the … Read more at Rosa's Blog »

Voting Rights Under Attack in Maine

June 14th, 2011 by rosascarcelli

Another disturbing national trend has come to Maine — efforts to keep people from voting. Gov. LePage and his allies in the Legislature are moving our state in the wrong direction on voting. We should be making it easier for people to participate, not harder.

I hope you’ll check out my post on Huffington Post.
