This year, Lewiston’s Ward 4 finally has a choice when deciding who to elect to the School Committee, and I feel that having a fresh face couldn’t have come at a better time. For the past several years, I have experienced the many challenges Lewiston schools are facing, including overcrowding, rushed implementations, increased testing and […]

Dubois gives council balance
Another election time is near. It is time to use the gift of voting to let the people’s voice be heard. I am looking for someone who is conservative; someone who will give the Lewiston City Council balance and who is qualified and cares. Lewiston needs Leslie Dubois to continue representing Ward 1 and Ward […]

Chin is the best candidate
Why is Lewiston Mayor Robert Macdonald doing everything in his power to divide and single out people? While I’m in favor of government transparency, shaming the city’s welfare recipients makes no sense. In his four years in office, Macdonald has shown nothing but disdain for many Lewiston residents. Ben Chin has a track record of […]

I am writing in support of Tina Hutchinson for Lewiston School Committee from Ward 7. As her daughter, I can attest to her dedication to all students and doing what is best for them. When my brother was in Head Start, she was a member of the policy council. She reached out to parents and […]

Vote for local man, Michael Lachance
I am writing in support of the re-election of Lewiston City Councilor Michael Lachance, Ward 7. I was born and raised in Lewiston and, after living away for 20 years, returned to a very different Lewiston. I met Lachance two years ago while he was campaigning in my neighborhood. He is a very nice man […]

L. Gilbert: Lysen the best candidate for Ward 1
I write in support of Jim Lysen, candidate for the Lewiston Ward 1 Council seat. He and his wife, Susann Pelletier, and their daughter, Genevieve Lysen, have lived in this ward for some 30 years. They have contributed to this community as volunteers all of those years. Former state Sen. Margaret Craven is his campaign […]

Cloutier’s hard work serves Lewiston
As an active follower of Lewiston City Council proceedings, a Lewiston homeowner and public school parent, I have been consistently impressed by the well-informed and thoughtful leadership of Ward 5 City Councilor Kristen Cloutier. No matter the issue, Councilor Cloutier’s questions and positions are rooted in the evidence and in a deep caring for Lewiston’s […]

R. Farnsworth: Man of energy and vision
As a 30-year resident and current property owner in Lewiston, I write in enthusiastic support of Ben Chin’s candidacy for mayor. I have known Chin since his undergraduate days at Bates and have long admired his intelligence and his capacity to consider varieties of perspective. His years of hard work for the Maine People’s Alliance […]

L. Sherwood: Ambassador for Lewiston
As an active volunteer, I often see the same people participating in and attending community events. Larry Gilbert Sr. is someone who can frequently be seen smiling and happily greeting people at local activities, which is the role of a mayor and ambassador. He takes pride in Lewiston-Auburn, the diverse culture, his own Franco-American heritage, […]
