Democrat, Republican, independent — makes no difference in this election. Lewiston needs the best possible candidate to represent the city as mayor. I know Mark Cayer as a proven, experienced, dedicated leader, as a former city councilor, as council president, always working to make our city a better place to educate and live, working for […]

Beam an effective council member
I am writing to endorse the re-election of Joline Landry Beam to represent Ward 6 on the Lewiston City Council. I have known Beam and her family for almost 30 years. She has a great record as an educator and as a public servant, first on the school committee and the Maine House of Representatives […]

Bouchard cares about Lewiston
I am proud to say that Shane Bouchard is my choice for mayor of Lewiston. Bouchard is a self-employed, self-made businessman who deeply cares about my hometown of Lewiston. He has served the city as a city councilor and as a member of the Androscoggin County Budget Committee. Both are thankless jobs at which he […]

Chin has a vision and a plan
There is nothing wrong with people being asked to work in exchange for public assistance. It is well known that when a person has a meaningful job, he or she can rise out of his or her own situation while benefitting the public good and the community. The offshoots of that are higher self-esteem, learning […]

Bouchard the best candidate
I am voting for Shane Bouchard for mayor of Lewiston. He has the experience of currently serving Lewiston as the Ward 4 city councilor, and I always know where he stands on issues. Bouchard has no problem with tackling difficult situations and making tough decisions. He opposes the Lewiston-Auburn merger and is ready to work […]

Ben Chin just does what's right
In this day and age, the public needs leaders who aren’t afraid to say what they mean and do what they say. It takes courage to speak from the heart, especially when what they have to say may upset the status quo and the political establishment. Even when I don’t agree with him fully, I […]
