Just recently the Lewiston Education Association, which represents a large portion of the city’s educational staff, endorsed Jason Lavoie to be the at-large representative on the Lewiston School Committee.

As a co-working entrepreneur, Carl Sheline has demonstrated his commitment to fostering a community of entrepreneurs and innovators in the heart of downtown Lewiston. He recognizes that cultivating the doers and makers in our city is an […]

I write in support of Carl Sheline for mayor of the city of Lewiston. By virtue of his longtime residency and business operations in Lewiston, Carl understands the strengths and weaknesses of Lewiston.

Having served with Megan for two years and observing her service to our community, educators and students over the course […]

I write in support of Carl Sheline’s campaign for mayor of Lewiston. I served on the Maine Music Society board with him, and I admire his dedication to improving our fine city.
