Election 2009

Lewiston: Ward 4

Published on Friday, Oct 23, 2009 at 12:12 am | Last updated on Friday, Oct 23, 2009 at 6:06 pm

This year's race for the Ward 4 seat is a virtual replay of the race two years ago, with the roles reversed: Incumbent Councilor Denis Theriault seeks to maintain his seat, defending it from candidate Ron Jean. Jean held the Ward 4 seat himself for eight years before losing to Theriault in 2007.

Theriault was unable to schedule a time to record video profiles.

What is the biggest issue facing your city right now, and what would you do about it?


What's your philosophy concerning the city's budget? Should it stay level or be cut? If you want to make cuts, what services or departments can be cut?


Rate the city's storm water fee: Was it worthwhile, or would you repeal it given the chance?
