As the seasons start to change, leaves start to turn, and weather starts getting colder, it is hard for me to not think about deer hunting season. I am an avid deer hunter and the House Republican lead on the Joint Standing Committee on Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. During this legislative session, our committee worked […]

Curtis Jack: Chittim brings integrity, honor as Lewiston council candidate
I am proud to write this letter in support of David Chittim, candidate for Lewiston’s City Council representing Ward 6. I have known David for 40 years, and I have long admired his civic involvement in many capacities and his willingness to give his time and talents to numerous boards, committees and organizations in our […]
Darren Hartley: Beauparlant an honest, committed advocate for Lewiston
I write in support of Paul Beauparlant for the Lewiston School Committee Ward 7 seat. Having known Paul for most of my professional career as a teacher/coach/business owner, I have always been impressed with the way Paul treats people. He is sincere, objective and honest to a fault. His pragmatic approach to problem solving and […]
Craig Jipson: Beauparlant brings ‘in-the-trenches experience’ to Lewiston schools
I’m proud to support Paul Beauparlant for the Ward 7 Lewiston School Committee position. Quite simply, Paul is the most qualified candidate for school board in Maine. It can be argued that Paul was the best teacher in the history of Edward Little High School. Paul has taught all types of kids with an unprecedented […]
Patrick Eisenhart: Lewiston’s Ward 6 would benefit from Chittim
Next month’s Lewiston City Council election is too important for people to fail to vote. Four obstructionist city councilors, including Lee Clement representing our Ward 6, have been accused of illegally conducting city business in a bar. We need trust and transparent representatives on the council. Thus, my wife and I will be casting our […]
Jamie Caouette: Parks a strong advocate for Lewiston’s youth

Our youth are amazing, and it is imperative that we make certain our youth are educated in a school system that values who they are, helps them discover their […]
Jane Costlow: Mahr Damien would bring energy, experience to Auburn council
Residents of Ward 5 in Auburn are very lucky to have Stefanie Mahr Damien running for City Council. The city faces a host of difficult issues — from the protection of Lake Auburn and how to manage solid waste and recycling, to coming up with compassionate solutions to the housing crisis. In all of these […]
Bonnie Lounsbury: Protect Auburn’s resources with Harmon
Auburn is blessed with clean water and prime farmland. Those resources must be protected if Auburn is to thrive. To do so requires collaborative leadership on the City Council and active citizens. Jeff Harmon as mayor would offer that leadership. Auburn’s current mayor has pursued scheme after scheme to dismantle the protections in the city’s […]
Martin Bressler: Beauparlant offers wisdom, temperament, connectivity to Lewiston
I highly recommend Paul Beauparlant for reelection to the Lewiston School Committee as, in my mind, there is no better candidate in his ward. I have worked with Paul and his wife for many years, and they are totally committed to the city. Paul has sent his kids through the school district and, as a […]
Joshua Nagine: Choose slate of candidates that moves Lewiston forward
The past two years have been anything but usual. Coming out of the pandemic, it seems every community in Maine is addressing the housing shortage, investing in infrastructure, making quality of life improvements, facing unmet needs, increasing the tax base and planning for the future. But the second largest city in Maine appears to still […]
