I write to lend my support to Carl Sheline’s campaign for mayor of Lewiston. Having served Lewiston for the past four years on the city council, I have had numerous opportunities to see Carl’s investment in our city. As a local entrepreneur, Carl knows what it takes to push for more business-friendly policy at the […]

Carl Sheline is the best choice for Lewiston’s next mayor, and he would serve well. Carl exhibits the leadership needed to foster an environment of cooperation and consensus building with the next slate of city council members. He recognizes that by finding common ground and working together we can achieve the best decisions needed to […]

Megan Parks is the most qualified candidate for the at-large seat on the Lewiston School Committee. She grew up in Lewiston and attended and graduated from Lewiston schools. Megan’s children attend Lewiston schools. Megan’s lived experiences give her the perspective of people from all walks of life — from poverty and homelessness, mental illness and […]

I write in support of Megan Parks’ bid for reelection to her at-large seat on the Lewiston School Committee. As a former member of the Lewiston School Committee and City Council, and as a current elementary school teacher, I can attest that Megan is the type of leader this city needs. Not long ago, the […]

I’ve have lived in Auburn for 40 years, and believe in this city and its people. I have wondered, though, why some of our elected officials fail to trust the people they claim to represent. My Ward 2 councilor seems to be slow at coming to conclusions and making decisions. That is why I was […]

Megan Parks, Lewiston School Committee chairwoman, fights for the future of our youth. I support reelecting Megan for innumerable reasons, including her passion and commitment to our community. I’ve walked streets alongside her on the coldest nights, searching for people in need of food and shelter. I’ve witnessed Megan’s excitement while flooding her office with […]

He prepares fully for each council meeting, participates in many city committees, and responds to every single constituent phone call or email he receives. Any resident can reach out to Tim with a problem and receive exceptional support and follow-through. Tim also led the […]

I proudly endorse Linda Doucette Scott to represent Lewiston City Council, Ward 1. Serving Lewiston on the City Council, School Committee and Legislature was among the best times in my life and an honor. In office, I found three types of leaders. The first serves to benefit one’s personal interest; a club, organization, business, profession […]

On Nov. 2, I hope Ward 6 voters will join me and elect Meghan Hird as their Lewiston School Committee representative. Meghan has two young children, one in school, so like all parents she wants them to get the best education possible. Meghan is also aware of the many fixed-income individuals living in Lewiston who […]
