I am endorsing Mark Paradis for mayor of Lewiston, a friend for the past 32 years.

I have always found him as a dependable and a committed person. He is excellent in whatever he works on and the tasks taken up. His willingness to take on and handle tough projects while focusing on the completion is amazing. He will not take the job as an eight-hour job; this will be a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week commitment.

He has proven to be a person of integrity and commitment to the issues involving the city of Lewiston. Having served as a city councilor, he has the experience needed.

He has excellent leadership qualities and is popular among his peers. It is also known that he solves conflicts with ease and handles situation tactfully. He works hard and encourages other people to work hard.

I recommend Mark Paradis for mayor of Lewiston.
