As a lifelong resident of Lewiston and a volunteer in many political campaigns over the years, I have always cared deeply about the issues that faced my city and the people who presented themselves to lead us forward. My hope for my community is that quality people will value public service for the expertise they […]

Letters to the editor of the Sun Journal.
Lionel Guay: Mark Cayer for mayor
As Election Day is quickly approaching, I strongly urge all voters to support Mark Cayer for the office of mayor. I have known Mark for several years and have had numerous conversations regarding Lewiston. He is the most qualified candidate. Mark is a team worker. He takes the time to listen to both sides of […]
Mary Roussel: Bonnie Hayes has my vote
Completing her eighth term on the Auburn School Committee, Bonnie Hayes is currently a member of the New Edward Little Committee, member of the Auburn School Department Finance Committee and a member of the Auburn City Audit Committee. She has invaluable knowledge and experience of knowing what has worked and not worked over the years […]
Richard Grandmaison: Support for Owen Cardwell-Copenhefer
I support Owen Cardwell-Copenhefer for Lewiston School Committee, At-Large. I support Owen because we need younger individuals who have more recent experiences in the school system. We need to get their perspectives from what they experienced. I believe their views could be very important because clearly technology has dramatically changed how students learn and how […]
Elizabeth Henry: Pam Hart works well with both sides
I endorse Pam Hart for Auburn School Committee, Ward 2. I met Pam in 2003 when our daughters were in preschool. Back then, we thought that they would graduate from a high school with reliable technology, abundant resources, a cafeteria that serves hot lunch, with sports fields on site so all kids can fully participate […]
Fred Sanborn-Silvers: Marcotte brings common sense
We need Mike Marcotte reelected as the councilor for Ward 7 in Lewiston. Mike brings common sense to city government where common sense is in short supply. We also need to elect Tim Lajoie as the next mayor of Lewiston. Fred Sanborn-Silvers, Lewiston
Robert Reed: Chiropractors maligned in article
On Oct. 16, the Sun Journal published a Portland Press Herald article titled “Chiropractors give boost to people’s veto campaign against new vaccine law.” It unjustly singled out the chiropractic profession while presenting falsehoods about chiropractic education and history. The Maine Chiropractic Association would like to correct these errors. Medical doctors alone can claim to […]
Misty Edgecomb: Rhyanna Larose for Auburn council
I was born and raised here in Auburn with Rhyanna Larose. I have always been amazed by her passion and energy. Rhyanna has always been a doer — self-driven, deliberate and determined. The Rhyanna I know wants to know the details. She wants to know as much as she can about the issues. She wants […]
Mary LaFontaine: Auburn needs voices of reason
I will support Joe Gray for mayor and Katie Boss for city council on Auburn’s ballot. And, while I can’t vote for them, I also support Holly Lasagna and Bob Hayes. We need voices of reason; people who listen to our residents —all of them — not just a few; people who care about the […]
Amy Hesby: Hart, Simpson for a fresh start
I am writing in support of Pam Hart, Ward 2, and David Simpson, at-large for Auburn School Committee. Our school committee desperately needs a change to the status quo. The Auburn learning results over the past 10 years have been on a significant, continuous decline. If Auburn is to be an appealing place to live, […]
