Holly Lasagna is a real firecracker working for the City Council in Ward 1. She has been instrumental in securing new street lighting for West Dartmouth Street, which has brought back safety to an otherwise dark and unsafe situation. Kudos for this achievement. Holly takes everyone’s concerns and questions as her own and applies her […]

Letters to the editor of the Sun Journal.
Jim Benson: Support for Sen. Susan Collins
I will be supporting Sen. Susan Collins in the next Senate race. I say this with reservation only because of her support for Brett Kavanaugh. I find her support of abortion appalling. To support the execution of children days, weeks, months before a child is born is barbaric. A child’s life does not begin at […]
Phillip Whipple: Matt Leonard for council-at-large
It’s vital that we vote our values, so I’ll be voting for Matt Leonard for City Council at-large next month. Matt is an effective advocate for economic opportunity. He devotes a significant amount of time and effort working with area businesses linking military veterans with quality careers. His experience with the local chamber of commerce […]
Jared Golden: Mark Cayer is what Lewiston needs
Mark Cayer has a long career dedicated to community and public service. Throughout his 20 years serving as a law enforcement officer, then as a Lewiston city councilor and council president, and now as chairman of the school board, Mark has demonstrated his commitment time and time again to the people of Maine and Lewiston […]
Tim Cowan: Support for Katie Boss
I support Katie Boss to be the at-large representative on the Auburn City Council. I have had the privilege of working with Katie on public health programs she manages for Healthy Androscoggin. Over the past 11 years, Katie has guided people with diverse opinions and experiences to identify ways to work together so that they […]
Scott St. Pierre: Stephanie Gelinas for City Council
Stephanie Gelinas is a great leader and has the desire to lead our community. She is the founder and executive director of Sandcastle Clinical and Education Services in Lewiston, which has given her the understanding of the needs of our community. Being a lifelong resident of Lewiston and a past LA Metro Chamber board member, chairperson and […]
Norman Mckeone: Belinda Gerry is the woman for the job
As a former city councilor I know what the job demands. Therefore, I believe Belinda Gerry is the right woman for the job. She works very hard to know and understand the issues before making a decision. She speaks to many constituents before making decisions and represents the people of Auburn’s voice, not just her […]
Nate Libby: Lewiston well served with Cayer
Mark Cayer cares about the right stuff: bringing people together and working through difficult conversations like adults; pinching pennies and carefully crafting budgets so precious tax dollars are invested wisely with an eye toward the future; focusing on important issues, such as housing quality, safe neighborhoods, economic growth and property taxes; being an honest, kind […]
Kristen Cloutier: Mark Cayer will do what is right
Actions speak louder than empty campaign promises, and Mark Cayer consistently rolls up his sleeves and does the actual work to make a difference in our community. Mark is deeply invested in our city and schools, working to bring people together to resolve problems. He demonstrates a cooperative spirit, strong work ethic and integrity. I […]
Diane Grandmaison: Support for Owen Cardwell-Copenhefer
I support Owen Cardwell-Copenhefer, who is running for the Lewiston School Committee at-large. Public schools were created to provide workers for all occupations — vocational, technical and college-bound students. Cardwell-Copenhefer understands that every child is different. Some have more challenges than others. He understands that every student deserves an education so they can become successful […]
