Auburn voters have a great opportunity this election to hit the reset button for our schools. For decades a small clique of Auburn socialites and elites have held the reins of power over one of the most important functions of city government. The result has been disastrous for children and families — with an abundance […]

Seldom have I come across a person I could categorize as non-partisan. A person who does not fit any patterns of orthodox ideology. Mark Cayer is one of those unique creatures who sees the world through a lens of practicality and true fairness. I have watched Mark field very difficult questions and he never gets […]

The guest column by Educate Maine’s Jason Judd (Oct. 13) was spot-on: to grow Maine’s current and future workforce, the public and private sectors must commit to making sure all Maine people have the educational training, credentials and experience needed to succeed in Maine’s 21st century economy. For the past 11 years, I’ve been fortunate […]

With great confidence and enthusiasm I support Pam Hart for the Ward 2 seat on the Auburn School Committee. Pam is exactly what the school committee needs — someone with an open mind, a fresh new perspective and unmatched energy. Pam will dedicate herself to our educators and students and undoubtedly serve our community well. […]

Lewiston has come a long way in recent years. We now have one college and the campuses for three universities in our city, as well as a brand new elementary school. Progress is being made on the redevelopment of Mill 5, with three prospective tenants seriously considering that key location. New businesses are moving into […]

Auburn residents need to re-elect Belinda Gerry for Auburn city councilor-at-large. No one takes her public servant position more seriously, and devotes countless hours to her city council work and in volunteering for community projects to help make Auburn a better place to live. She is dedicated, hardworking and treats everyone with respect. Belinda takes […]

As a resident of Auburn who lives in Ward 2, I give my full support to Pam Hart for Auburn School Committee. Pam is willing to engage in conversation, listens, and treats others with respect and dignity. I encourage others in Ward 2 to join me in voting for Pam Hart. Sara Bartlett, Auburn

I enthusiastically endorse Katie Boss in her bid for an at-large seat on Auburn’s City Council. I have had the pleasure of getting to know her as a member of the Complete Streets Committee, where she asks great questions and has gone the extra mile to represent us on the Court Street Advisory Committee. As […]
