The citizens of Lewiston have the opportunity to take back their city, return it to a city full of pride and not one that is considered a welfare city.

The first step is electing an individual for mayor who is not afraid to take on special interest groups; not afraid to tackle the welfare issues; and not interested in being “politically correct.”

The city needs someone who will listen and act; someone who will not be afraid to face opposition or an uphill battle; someone who will not be intimidated or afraid to step out of the box.

That person is Robert Macdonald.

He is an honest, dedicated, caring individual who has served this community and the nation proudly. He served in Vietnam, is a former Lewiston police detective, and recently retired from the Lewiston School Department.

I support Robert Macdonald for mayor of Lewiston.
