In the Sun Journal Oct. 13 there was a story that U.S. Rep. Bruce Poliquin has raised nearly $1.6 million for his 2016 re-election bid. I am sure most people would agree that this amount is small in comparison to the amount being raised by most senators, not to mention the campaigns for president. With […]

Pross involved in the community
I am pleased to support Jim Pross’ candidacy for Auburn City Council, Ward 1. I had the good fortune of hiring him as an attorney in our law firm after he and his wife moved to Lewiston-Auburn in 2004. Through his hard work and dedication, Pross soon became an excellent lawyer. He has become a […]

In rebuttal: Support for Planned Parenthood misplaced
?The guest column (Oct. 11) by Sen. Dawn Hill and Rep. Sara Gideon was not very accurate and left a lot unsaid about Planned Parenthood. First off, abortion for health reasons or for birth control is one thing. Partial birth abortions and harvesting post-abortion baby parts for sale is quite another. Opposing the latter horribly […]

Not only as a city councilor, but also as the council’s School Committee representative. Her passion for this community and her willingness to listen to all sides of an issue are commendable. I encourage all […]

Martin has the experience Ward 4 needs
This year, Lewiston’s Ward 4 finally has a choice when deciding who to elect to the School Committee, and I feel that having a fresh face couldn’t have come at a better time.

Lewiston seems to have a problem with the number of new students entering the school system. Why so many? And why so many that the school system didn’t know were coming? Is it because of more immigrants coming in? Or, maybe the ones here are having too many children? I have no problem with immigrants […]

I first met mayoral candidate Ben Chin at a young-professionals gathering at Baxter Brewery. His friendly manner and speech impressed me. It was obvious that he cares very much for this community and will tackle the tough problems that Lewiston faces. Recently, he was in my neighborhood knocking on doors and my grandfather and I […]

Auburn Mayor Jonathan LaBonte deserves another term. He is a young man with wisdom beyond his years and has core beliefs that will serve Auburn citizens well. He has developed contacts in both the private and public sectors and clearly understands the strengths of both when it comes to job creation for our young, unemployed […]

LaBonte works to solidify community
In today’s climate, politicians create ideas that attempt to separate municipalities, not bring them together. I am proud that my city’s mayor, Jonathan LaBonte, does not fall into that category. Labonte has spent his time working to lift up well thought-out ideas and plans that reflect a desire to solidify my beloved community. He uses […]

Common sense needed with guns
“Guns don’t kill people. People kill people.” I am tired of that old saw. People don’t kill people by spitting on them. There are other means, but they are less effective and immediate. It is not only the homicides that could be lowered, but the suicides and “accidentals” that could be lowered if a gun […]
