I support Owen Cardwell-Copenhefer for Lewiston School Committee, At-Large. I support Owen because we need younger individuals who have more recent experiences in the school system. We need to get their perspectives from what they experienced. I believe their views could be very important because clearly technology has dramatically changed how students learn and how […]

Letters to the editor of the Sun Journal.
Elizabeth Henry: Pam Hart works well with both sides
I endorse Pam Hart for Auburn School Committee, Ward 2. I met Pam in 2003 when our daughters were in preschool. Back then, we thought that they would graduate from a high school with reliable technology, abundant resources, a cafeteria that serves hot lunch, with sports fields on site so all kids can fully participate […]
Fred Sanborn-Silvers: Marcotte brings common sense
We need Mike Marcotte reelected as the councilor for Ward 7 in Lewiston. Mike brings common sense to city government where common sense is in short supply. We also need to elect Tim Lajoie as the next mayor of Lewiston. Fred Sanborn-Silvers, Lewiston
Robert Reed: Chiropractors maligned in article
On Oct. 16, the Sun Journal published a Portland Press Herald article titled “Chiropractors give boost to people’s veto campaign against new vaccine law.” It unjustly singled out the chiropractic profession while presenting falsehoods about chiropractic education and history. The Maine Chiropractic Association would like to correct these errors. Medical doctors alone can claim to […]
Misty Edgecomb: Rhyanna Larose for Auburn council
I was born and raised here in Auburn with Rhyanna Larose. I have always been amazed by her passion and energy. Rhyanna has always been a doer — self-driven, deliberate and determined. The Rhyanna I know wants to know the details. She wants to know as much as she can about the issues. She wants […]
Mary LaFontaine: Auburn needs voices of reason
I will support Joe Gray for mayor and Katie Boss for city council on Auburn’s ballot. And, while I can’t vote for them, I also support Holly Lasagna and Bob Hayes. We need voices of reason; people who listen to our residents —all of them — not just a few; people who care about the […]
Amy Hesby: Hart, Simpson for a fresh start
I am writing in support of Pam Hart, Ward 2, and David Simpson, at-large for Auburn School Committee. Our school committee desperately needs a change to the status quo. The Auburn learning results over the past 10 years have been on a significant, continuous decline. If Auburn is to be an appealing place to live, […]
Jacob Morin: Pro-sports salaries a shameful sham
A 2013 article on huffpost.com (updated in 2017) titled “Visualizing the Yearly Salary of Professional Athletes, NBA Players Average $5+ Million a Year,” reveals the average athlete in the National Basketball Association earns roughly $5.15 million a year. When it comes to the big shot of American football, Tom Brady’s net worth, according to thestreet.com, […]
Betty Bates: Reelect Belinda Gerry
Belinda Gerry serves her constituents well. She selflessly dedicates all her time in service to others, her council work and our community. She sets a good example for all of our councilors to follow by treating everyone with respect; patiently listens when we speak to her and carries out what she says she is going […]
James Ayotte: Larose would make an excellent councilor
Rhyanna Larose would make an excellent city councilor for Ward 4 in Auburn. Through years of working together, I’ve seen firsthand just how much integrity, honesty and intelligence she has. I’m confident she’d bring those traits, and more, to serving our town as a councilor. Rhyanna will be accessible to hear and value every citizen’s […]
