Lewiston residents of Ward 3 have a tremendous opportunity to help the community move forward by electing Nate Libby as their next city councilor.

Libby, a lifelong resident of Maine, will bring energy and expertise to local government that will assist Lewiston in reaching its potential. His vision includes educational excellence, livable-wage jobs and affordable housing for all residents.

He understands the needs of small businesses and will help attract the investment necessary to turn the local economy around. He also realizes the importance of owner-occupied housing in the stabilization of residential neighborhoods, such as his rehab of the two-family home on Orange Street.

I strongly encourage support of Nate Libby’s candidacy so Lewiston can experience how progressive leadership can make a positive difference for everyone.
