For 35-year-old Attorney Robert W. Clifford the first of the new year will bring the end of his two years as mayor of Lewiston and take him within days of a new political adventure, his time in the Maine Senate.
‘‘A fantastic experience,” Clifford says of his two terms as mayor. “It was very time consuming, but still a fantastic experience.”
Although Clifford, who was elected state senator in the November election, is looking forward to serving in state government for a while for a while, he still thinks city government “is where the action is.”
The out-going mayor recently took a few minutes with this Journal reporter to glance back at his term of office.
“What I’m probably the proudest of are my appointments to the boards and commissions,” he said.
