Support for Mike Lachance
I know of Michael Lachance from his position on the Lewiston City Council from Ward 7. I often attended the council meetings and have always been impressed with his comments on every important issue. He did his research well and asked many questions (at times, it all seemed overly boring) that should have been asked […]

'Americanism' the single greatest tie that binds the people as a nation
Long known as the “melting pot,” the United States of America embodies a culture unique in the world. Where other cultures have failed around the globe, those tired, poor and huddled have sought America’s shores. It is not for “multiculturalism” — the U.S. has always been an “American” culture — but for “Americanism” — the […]

Two deserving candidates
Joanna Dow Said has my 100 percent endorsement for register of probate. She has the experience, ethics and focus to perform the job with excellence. Her integrity is beyond reproach. She has proven she cares about responsible, accountable government and has attended every county budget meeting to date this year. I cannot say this for […]

Macdonald-Lachance the best team
I think Lewiston needs people willing to represent their constituents, not the views of their jobs. The city needs candidates who are willing to take what has been a welfare town, a safe place for people to come to get assistance without having to work, and make a change for the better. It is time […]
