Sending a letter-to-the-editor (LTE) to your local paper is a great way to get your message out to lots of people and to help shape public opinion about candidates. Most newspapers require that LTEs be around 250-300 words. You should double check with the paper before writing your LTE. See below for the following list of Maine daily and weekly newspapers with email addresses to submit your LTEs.
