I am voting for Belinda Gerry. She takes the time to really listen to a person and doesn’t make people feel that they are taking up her time or what they say isn’t important. She doesn’t try to shorten my talk-time with her, as some city councilors have done in the past. She is easy […]

Lee well versed with Auburn
Auburn is lucky this year in that it has two candidates for office very familiar with and versed in the needs of the city. But we have been particularly impressed with Adam Lee’s dedication to talking to Auburn’s citizens, either in a public setting or door to door, and listening to their concerns. He plans […]

Lee will uphold the laws
Citizens of Maine are rightly upset that their legislators have failed to enact most of the referendums that were passed by popular vote last November. A recent comment by Jason Levesque at the Auburn mayoral debate suggested that Auburn residents might be in for more of the same disregard for voter sovereignty at the local […]

Belinda Gerry one of the best
Auburn residents should send Belinda Gerry back to the city council. No one takes her public servant position more seriously. She has a personal commitment to fully understand every council issue and has been one of the most available and accessible elected officials of modern time. She exhibited the same work ethic when she represented […]

Lee's thoughtful, reasoned approach
On Nov. 7, I will vote to elect councilor Adam Lee as Auburn’s new mayor. Having served as Auburn’s mayor, I believe the mayor can significantly influence how the city is governed. I am confident that Lee will be an effective and active mayor, addressing whatever issues the city will face in the next two […]

Auburn has clear choices
In the upcoming election, Auburn has some clear choices to make. Auburn will cease to exist if consolidated with Lewiston. Not only will the city of Auburn be erased from existence, its neighborhood schools such as East Auburn Elementary will almost certainly be eradicated in favor of Lewiston’s big box school way of doing things. […]

Lee always respectful, intelligent
Adam Lee cares about Auburn. He has demonstrated that with his series of “Where is Adam” invitations to the community. He announces where he will be gathering — usually at an Auburn eatery or public event — and invites the public to sit and share their comments and concerns about the city. Lee takes the […]

Lee will restore trust
Adam Lee will restore trust and transparency to Auburn City Hall. As councilor, he demonstrated his ability to remain calm, fair and deliberative, skills necessary for him to follow through on his pledge to ensure that all councilors and the public are provided the opportunity to debate and deliberate ideas. I was happy to read […]

Nacinovich supports schools
I support Claire Nacinovich for an at-large position on the Auburn School Board. As a working parent and a community liaison, she will help the board take a clear-eyed look at the policies of the department. Auburn’s ninth graders are required to graduate with a proficiency-based diploma. The details of this system are not worked […]

Support for Levesque
I have had the pleasure to recruit men and women who are exiting the military for jobs here in Maine. During the interview process, I realize how the military trains people to have conviction, passion and how to just get the job done. When I heard about Army veteran Jason Levesque running for mayor of […]
