Bouchard got the job done
My wife and I inherited a major water problem when we moved to Lewiston. In times of heavy rain, we have a lake in our backyard. The problem dates back to the 1980s when neighbors installed swimming pools that blocked the drainage flow. The city of Lewiston required homeowners to install a pipe to drain […]

Bouchard listens to the people
Whether it was banding with local businesses, negotiating with the firefighters’ union or locking arms with local property owners, Shane Bouchard has consistently represented the voice of the people. When city administration wanted to change outer Sabattus Street from two lanes to one lane, Bouchard led the charge for the business owners that would be […]

He understands and believes in the people of Lewiston and will represent them well. He won’t run away from difficult challenges, but […]

Marcotte for Lewiston Council
I first met Michael Marcotte during my tenure as a member of the Lewiston Planning Board. One of the attributes I first noticed about him was his intense passion for Lewiston. This passion shone through during planning board meetings as he would challenge varying positions on issues, asking the tough questions and tackling controversial issues […]

I was born and raised in Lewiston. My children went to school here, and I worked in the public school system for almost 30 years. This city has been good to me and my family, and I am committed to its growth. When I first met Ben Chin, I was impressed by his dedication to […]

Chin has a plan for Lewiston
Candidates for mayor everywhere promise to attract new businesses and support existing businesses in their communities. What makes Ben Chin’s promise to promote businesses in Lewiston believable is that he is not simply promising to be supportive. He has held serious discussions with local entrepreneurs about the obstacles they face and the steps the city […]
