I wholeheartedly support Bob McCarthy to represent Ward 2 on the Lewiston City Council. He is everything his opponent is not. Bob is a fifth-generation and lifelong resident of Lewiston. He has local business experience having been employed by the Sun Journal for 20 years in a managerial position. Bob continues to maintain his roots […]

I have been reading a great deal about the upcoming mayoral election — and I am excited by what I see Carl Sheline saying, both in print and on social media. I realize many people are skeptical — words are not actions. So I also look to what Carl has actively achieved here in Lewiston-Auburn […]

Lewiston, the second largest city in Maine, will be voting for a new mayor on Nov. 2. We need a mayor who has vision to improve Lewiston’s image. As a senior, I will be supporting Carl Sheline for mayor for his work in the community, and his statement of inclusion of the large senior community […]

We all heard about the “war on” Christmas, religion, the Second Amendment, etc., from Fox broadcasts (I won’t call it news). What about the “war on” truth being waged by the Fox network? I must say it has topped all the politicians, except maybe one, in successfully waging the battle. There are two types of […]

In such an instance living free can cause others to die, as over 90% of ICU patients are unvaccinated. Now onto my high school classmate, Paul Lepage, as his last name was then spelled. Paul LePage was a […]

Carl Sheline is the right person to lead Lewiston as our next mayor. He has proven experience as a hardworking and honest business owner, demonstrated leadership and commitment through his voluntary service to many local area boards and organizations, and supported growth in Lewiston by investing and contributing to our community’s business and nonprofits.

It’s no surprise that Avangrid, the international corporation that owns CMP, is spending millions of dollars on misleading commercials. They’ve been misleading Mainers since Day One, and I’m sure with the amount […]
