Bruce Damon: Beauparlant’s experience ‘invaluable’ for Lewiston School Committee
Having served with Paul Beauparlant on the Lewiston School Committee for the last three-plus years, it is my honor to encourage all the voters of Ward 7 to support his reelection. Paul was a high school classroom teacher for 43 years, and he brings a perspective to the position that few others could possibly provide. […]
Brian DuBois: Harmon’s mayoral run raises concerns
Jeff Harmon has attended Planning Board and City Council meetings and, while I applaud his commitment, there is cause for concern. One topic was Planning Board approval of Stable Ridge Apartments. During those meetings there was in-depth discussion, professional opinions from staff and experts on topics such as traffic and school impact, as well as […]
Thomas Peters: Levesque, Connor, would work together for Auburn, Lewiston
If I lived in Auburn I would vote to reelect Mayor Jason Levesque. He is moving that city forward, and residents should be proud of his efforts. Let’s hope there is a new mayor in Lewiston, like Jon Connor, who I know would work hand-in-hand with Auburn to move both our great cities into the […]
Mohamed Ibrahim: Sheline rolls out red carpet, not red tape
Lewiston needs a mayor like Carl Sheline who makes growing a vibrant local economy a top priority. A business owner himself, he understands the challenges that small businesses face in Lewiston and he advocates tirelessly for them. Mayor Sheline promotes the city’s rich and diverse culture, boosts youth sports and engagement, listens to residents’ concerns, […]
Erin Towns: Beauparlant brings commitment, experience to Lewiston school panel

With a profound commitment to education and a wealth of experience, Paul is an exemplary candidate deserving of community support. Paul’s 43 years of […]
Marc Jalbert: Where are Question 3’s advocates?
Is it my imagination, or is the only money available regarding consumer-owned electricity Question 3 to taint its passage? We are now getting this advice from all kinds of people right now, not just the electric companies. I’m just wondering as to just how good would this be for us, given we’re not hearing from the […]
Stephen Kottler: Lewiston needs Connor as its next mayor
Lewiston needs an intelligent, pragmatic mayor with vision, proven success in leadership and business, and the ability to work professionally and productively with the entire City Council, as our next mayor. Jon Connor is that person. We have suffered two years of mayoral selfies and reports of lunches, along with a surreal denial of the […]
Lizette Leveille: Agren ‘a good fit’ for Lewiston School Committee
I am a lifelong resident of the Lewiston-Auburn area. I have known Matthew D. Agren for more than 25 years. He is a conscientious worker, a thoughtful man, a capable and innovative thinker and a self-educated student of history. I believe he would do well on the School Committee. I have watched him mentor older […]
Gov. Janet Mills: Sheline should continue as Lewiston’s mayor
Carl Sheline is a positive force for the people of Lewiston and should continue as its mayor. I know firsthand that Lewiston is a wonderful place to live, work and raise a family. I lived and worked there for years. It’s where I met and married my husband, where he ran his business and where […]
