I am delighted that Holly Lasagna has decided to run for reelection to the Auburn City Council, Ward 1.

I am supporting Katie Boss for an At-Large seat on the Auburn City Council. Katie is a thoughtful, bright, and capable professional, who is committed to helping make Auburn a community where individuals, families and businesses can all prosper. She is a good listener who can engage in meaningful and respectful dialogue with all constituents […]

Four-car teams and big money have ruined racing. NASCAR has become less enjoyable in the past few years, to the point where it is not enjoyable anymore. The Joe Gibbs cars and Penske cars dominate every race, not forgetting Kevin Harvick. When a less-funded team’s car is lapped 15 laps into a race, something is […]

I’ve known Matt Leonard virtually all of my life, going way back to the second grade. I’m glad he’s running for city council. Matt grew up with many of the disadvantages our group of friends had in common. Despite that, he was able to break out and join the U.S. Navy, where he had a […]

I enthusiastically and unconditionally endorse two fine men who will significantly strengthen Auburn City Council in 2020-2022. Mayor Jason Levesque deserves re-election to an already successful first term to complete ongoing, forward-moving work. Auburn requires his strong business leadership and knowledge while our community grows its infrastructure, builds a successful sports tourism enterprise and attracts […]

Mark Cayer is the leader we need as the next mayor of Lewiston. He has proven himself to be an exemplary public servant — honest, hard working, and highly motivated to improve the lives of everyone in our community. In today’s politically polarized world, Mark’s proven ability to work across differences and get to consensus […]
