I am writing in support of Megan Parks in her run for reelection to the Lewiston School Committee. Megan has provided steady support and guidance on the committee, including stepping up as chair when she was needed. Megan has always stepped up to the plate, been a voice of reason, and most importantly an advocate […]

Zachary Binder: Dana Staples puts Auburn first
I have had the pleasure of knowing Dana Staples since I moved to Auburn in 2010, and I proudly support his bid to serve Auburn again as a City Council member at-large. Dana brings a natural curiosity to every interaction and every situation that he encounters. It’s this curiosity that makes him a leader in […]
Joe Morin: Levesque understands challenge of housing in Auburn
I’m a fifth generation Auburn resident. I was raised here and have chosen to raise my own family here. I am employed in Auburn and am fortunate to work with many people one might call millennials. Millennials are not teens anymore. They are 20- or 30-somethings raising their own families. The constant concern I hear […]
Nick Santora: Wilton and Dixfields need safer residential streets
Our neighborhood’s safety is at risk due to speeding drivers in Wilton and the Dixfields. The speed limit on many streets is 35 mph, but many drivers ignore it, putting us all in danger. Here’s the deal: If people speed by 1-9 mph, they can be fined $114, and it can go up to $278. […]
Richard Bernard: U.S. government isn’t being fiscally responsible
Congress previously passed the American Rescue Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, and the recent Fiscal Responsibility Act. What is frustrating is that the people have only seen higher prices. If I could keep spending more money than my income, I would be in financial trouble, and this is exactly why our government is also in […]
Thomas Kane: Agren an ‘excellent’ choice for Lewiston School Committee
Matthew Agren’s leadership and commitment to helping make him excellent for Lewiston’s school board. As a former university lecturer with 18 years teaching experience, I would describe Matt as a natural educator. He has a passion for studying history, and others regularly come to him for assistance in understanding both past events and current affairs. […]
Tu Biederman: Sheline offers ‘a dynamic, compassionate Lewiston’
I have more trust and admiration for Lewiston Mayor Carl Sheline than any elected official I’ve ever supported. He’s somehow at every community event, every restaurant opening, every local band concert at Rusty Bus. He’s been hugely supportive of Great Falls Pride, our local artists, our newest Mainers — too many communities to count. In […]
Jared Golden: Sheline offers Lewiston good heart, positive attitude
I write in support of Carl Sheline’s reelection for mayor of Lewiston. Having known Carl for several years, I know that he is not interested in public office to engage in political battles. He wants to focus on creating a positive environment and image for the community, while supporting local businesses. During his first term […]
Janet Beaudoin: Connor offers Lewiston optimism, progress as mayor
Mayoral candidate Jon Connor genuinely cares about the citizens of Lewiston. Jon’s business background, political experience, military service and Christian values have prepared him for the role of mayor. His commitment to serving the community shows selfless and visionary leadership we’ve not seen in the past. My hope is that with Jon at the helm, […]
Cecile Thornton: ‘If it’s happening in Lewiston, Mayor Carl is there’
I am writing to ask Lewiston residents to join me in supporting Mayor Carl Sheline by casting their vote for him in the upcoming mayoral election. As a native Lewistonian, I’ll be voting for him because I believe that Mayor Sheline truly cares about the well-being of Lewiston residents, be they native-born or not. In […]
