I strongly endorse Carl Sheline to be Lewiston’s next mayor. Much work has occurred in Lewiston over the past two years. Because of many community partners, our economy is the strongest it’s been in years. Relations with our largest employers have improved, we have reduced property taxes two years in a row and we have […]

Lewiston needs city-led recreation opportunities for people of all ages, and that includes seniors. After having many conversations and listening to residents, I believe it’s time for a comprehensive approach. Bingo night certainly has its place, but what other programming is possible?

Here is why I will vote Nov. 2 for Dana Staples for Auburn city councilor-at-large. Dana graduated from Edward Little High School, left for college and chose to return to the city he loves. For years he has dedicated his free time to improving our city by serving first on the Recreation Committee, followed by […]

I believe Carl has the leadership skills to […]

On Sept. 21 the town of Sabattus considered having the Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office handle its law enforcement services. Residents of Sabattus soundly rejected this with overwhelming numbers. Sabattus residents should be proud of our residents and community. The engagement of well over 100 residents shows the true heart of Sabattus. I am sure Acting […]

I was thinking the other day about the way things are right now. We are a hair away from a civil war. We are divided, and the socialists keeps coming up with ways to divide us more every day. We never see both sides of a news story anymore. The media is always finding ways to […]

Carl Sheline is the person Lewiston needs as its mayor. As a local business person, Carl has demonstrated initiative in providing opportunities for entrepreneurs and support for existing establishments. He is also a strong advocate of the arts in our community, attending and helping to promote attendance at related events. Carl listens to people’s ideas […]
