We hope to soon be residents of Lewiston. We are supporting Ben Chin for mayor. He will be a leader working for the best interests of everyone who calls Lewiston home.

Chin is courageous. He will bring skills to advocate for Lewiston’s rights and needs in Augusta. He will work closely with those already working here to strengthen education, safe and affordable housing, public health and economic development.

He will help shine a light on all that is dynamic and strong about Lewiston and on the city’s exciting future.

He believes that government can be a place where people come together, set aside fears and misjudgments of one another, to work for the common good of the community. Where no one is left behind.

Ben Chin will work hard to bring people together to foster that kind of government for Lewiston.

Jim Cogan and Peg Hoffman, Auburn
