Our neighborhood’s safety is at risk due to speeding drivers in Wilton and the Dixfields. The speed limit on many streets is 35 mph, but many drivers ignore it, putting us all in danger. Here’s the deal: If people speed by 1-9 mph, they can be fined $114, and it can go up to $278. […]

Letters to the editor of the Sun Journal.
Richard Bernard: U.S. government isn’t being fiscally responsible
Congress previously passed the American Rescue Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, and the recent Fiscal Responsibility Act. What is frustrating is that the people have only seen higher prices. If I could keep spending more money than my income, I would be in financial trouble, and this is exactly why our government is also in […]
Thomas Kane: Agren an ‘excellent’ choice for Lewiston School Committee
Matthew Agren’s leadership and commitment to helping make him excellent for Lewiston’s school board. As a former university lecturer with 18 years teaching experience, I would describe Matt as a natural educator. He has a passion for studying history, and others regularly come to him for assistance in understanding both past events and current affairs. […]
Tu Biederman: Sheline offers ‘a dynamic, compassionate Lewiston’
I have more trust and admiration for Lewiston Mayor Carl Sheline than any elected official I’ve ever supported. He’s somehow at every community event, every restaurant opening, every local band concert at Rusty Bus. He’s been hugely supportive of Great Falls Pride, our local artists, our newest Mainers — too many communities to count. In […]
Jared Golden: Sheline offers Lewiston good heart, positive attitude
I write in support of Carl Sheline’s reelection for mayor of Lewiston. Having known Carl for several years, I know that he is not interested in public office to engage in political battles. He wants to focus on creating a positive environment and image for the community, while supporting local businesses. During his first term […]
Janet Beaudoin: Connor offers Lewiston optimism, progress as mayor
Mayoral candidate Jon Connor genuinely cares about the citizens of Lewiston. Jon’s business background, political experience, military service and Christian values have prepared him for the role of mayor. His commitment to serving the community shows selfless and visionary leadership we’ve not seen in the past. My hope is that with Jon at the helm, […]
Cecile Thornton: ‘If it’s happening in Lewiston, Mayor Carl is there’
I am writing to ask Lewiston residents to join me in supporting Mayor Carl Sheline by casting their vote for him in the upcoming mayoral election. As a native Lewistonian, I’ll be voting for him because I believe that Mayor Sheline truly cares about the well-being of Lewiston residents, be they native-born or not. In […]
Michelle Gosselin Ervin: Connor aims to revitalize Lewiston’s economy
I want to express my wholehearted endorsement of Jon Connor’s candidacy for mayor in Lewiston. Our city’s economic growth is essential for the well-being of our residents, and Jon’s plans to attract businesses and create jobs are promising steps in the right direction. As someone who believes in the power of a thriving local economy, […]
Michael Boom: Pregnancies require responsibility from both parties
Over 3 million pregnancies are unintended in America each year. How can one call it a mistake when people are only being fruitful and multiplying? For we are commanded from Day One to do exactly what we are doing. Whether it was intended or not, lives don’t just happen willy nilly, they are created from […]
Daniel Campbell: Staples offers steadfast, genuine commitment to Auburn
Dana Staples is running for an at-large seat on the Auburn City Council. He is looking to continue his steadfast and genuine commitment to Auburn citizens. I am writing to support Dana having the opportunity to continue to lead Auburn with his outstanding character and integrity. I have known Dana for close to 20 years […]
