I am pleased to add my name to the long list of supporters of Carl Sheline as our next mayor of Lewiston. I have had the pleasure of working with Carl on numerous committees and events over the years. Carl has tirelessly promoted Lewiston as a place of opportunity, with great economic and educational potential. […]

Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are the only Senate Democrats not supporting Biden’s 10-year, $3.5 trillion government overhaul. In a Sept. 2 Wall Street Journal opinion piece, Sen. Manchin wrote, “What should we fund and what can we simply not afford?” We must keep in mind that the $3.5 trillion proposed is to be […]

As a member of the Lewiston Finance Committee and former Lewiston city councilor, I know that effective municipal governing is about bringing people together to tackle the many challenges a city faces. That is why I am supporting Carl Sheline for mayor. A committed, enthusiastic, and forward-thinking advocate of this city, Carl understands the importance […]

When I heard that Carl Sheline had decided to run for mayor of Lewiston, I thought, “Of course! He’s perfect for the position.” Carl is an energetic, resourceful man who cares deeply about his community.

I support Donna Gillespie for Lewiston mayor because she is not a part of the established party and is willing to say no when needed.
