I am supporting Caleb Roebuck for Lewiston Ward 2 city councilor. Some believe a person needs to live a long time in a community and be over the age of 60 to be a good representative. This is simply not true. It says a lot about a person when they come live in Lewiston, realize […]

With the upcoming voting on Nov. 2, Mexico residents will be asked to vote on a new “seasonal fire permit.” The permit that has been in effect since June 2014 was written by our former fire chief, the late Gary Wentzell, and the planning board at the time. Chief Wentzell was concerned about the Mexico […]

“Dirigo,” meaning “I lead,” is found on our state flag under the North Star and is our motto. Remember: As goes Maine, so goes the nation. As a Maine citizen I am requesting that there be an emergency meeting of our state Legislature to stop the Mills’ administration’s COVID vaccine mandate for health care workers. […]

Megan Parks is the kind of humble leader Lewiston needs. While working with Megan I have observed her risk losing her own job to fight for her staff and clients’ best interests. She has sat with, cried with, and supported people in serious crisis with the kind of compassion and strength that is needed. In […]

Bravo to Carl Sheline for taking action and running for mayor of Lewiston. When it comes to “supporting local,” Carl is at the top of my list. It has been inspiring to watch him raise his family, grow strong business, actively participate with the chamber of commerce, volunteer in community events and more. Meanwhile, he […]

It is my pleasure to write this endorsement of Paul Beauparlant for Lewiston School Committee in Ward 7. I worked with Paul at Edward Little High School for 43 years and found him to be one of the most honest, honorable men I know. He is well-loved by both students and staff for his sense […]

Megan Parks is first and foremost a dedicated steadfast advocate for children, a cooperative competent professional when working with parents and teachers alike, and a committed, proven public servant for our community who seeks creative solutions educating and protecting children in an unbiased way. What an amazing definition of a school board leader/member. If that […]

Belinda Gerry is one of the best Auburn city councilors we’ve ever had. Her commitment to seniors is unmatched by anyone. Belinda was the proponent and driving force behind our new senior center. She works tirelessly on the council, then volunteers with the Age Friendly Committee, putting on public suppers, movies and events for everyone. […]

Maine has been the oldest, poorest and most dependent state in the county for several generations. We import 90% of our food as a state (which is quite embarrassing), and we’re the highest risk state to disruptions of monopolized food supply (and we have been for over 42 years, which is also pretty embarrassing). The […]

As Auburn looks to the future, it’s important that we continue to encourage young families to not only settle here, but also get involved in our community. That’s one reason why I am enthusiastically supporting Ryan Hawes for Auburn City Council. As a Marine veteran, Ryan understands the meaning of commitment. He and his wife […]
