Long before Carl Sheline was interested in elected office in Lewiston, I have always marveled at his enthusiasm and outright love for this community.

It is often heard today that people are looking for someone who is “authentic” and “genuine.” That perfectly described Carl long before those descriptions became fashionable. He is that same person today.

Passion and integrity are the things that truly define leadership, but a love of community and its residents is what shapes a leader. Carl has all of those qualities, and that is why the city where I was born, lived in for the majority of my life, and served as its deputy city administrator, should elect Carl Sheline.
