Megan Parks has been a steady and strong advocate for Lewiston families for years as a School Committee member. She is dedicated and thoughtful in her approach, and she never backs down from the tough issues. Reelecting Megan is a good choice for the Lewiston community. Monique Roy, Lewiston

I hope Auburn voters choose Jeff Harmon as our next mayor. After my joining with many other Auburn residents in petitioning against proposed zoning changes and for the the continued protection of Lake Auburn from further area housing development, it seems that these efforts have been consistently deflected or ignored by the current city government […]

As a Lewiston Ward 7 resident and property owner in Ward 2, I’m voicing my support for Paul Beauparlant, current Ward 7 School Committee member, and Sue (Bergeron) Longchamps, Ward 2 City Council candidate. Serving alongside Paul, I have observed his dedication to examining issues meticulously before casting votes. He does this through the lens […]

I had no trouble with Bob Neal’s Sept. 23 column (“Strong words from north of the border“) about the political firestorm between India and Canada surrounding the murder on Canadian soil of a Sikk activist who was advocating for a Sikk state in India.

Tim Cowan was visiting my neighborhood recently. He is a candidate for Auburn City Council in Ward 2. Luckily I was home and got to meet a gentleman with Auburn on his mind. He is determined to listen to everyone. He sees Lake Auburn as a priority. He wants to consider data and weigh all […]

I moved to Lewiston 65 years ago and have known many mayors. I have never met a mayor of Lewiston who was such an advocate, promoter and great voice for us than Carl Sheline. He is involved in every aspect of city life — he walks around the city getting to know our people, learning […]

Although I no longer live in Lewiston, I still work for a Lewiston nonprofit and have multiple connections in the community. I’ve worked with Megan Parks, at-large candidate for the School Committee, in a professional capacity for over five years. In that time, I’ve come to know her as a passionate, hardworking advocate for the […]

As we are facing elections for local offices and committees in a few weeks, the recent standoff in Congress over funding the functions of government gives us an opportunity to reflect on a faction which has been growing lately, like a cancer, in our body politic. We elect public servants to serve … our interests, […]

After former president Donald Trump last week suggested that the head of our country’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark Milley, might deserve the death penalty, the general had to expand security measures for his family to 24 hours a day. Backdropping this potential incitement to harm by some deranged individual, he faces a total […]
