It is obvious that President Donald Trump has some sort of obsession with what he likes to call “fake news.” He makes reference to that daily in either his tweets, at his rallys or when speaking to the press. Ironically, Trump is one of the biggest providers of fake news, and then he constantly complains […]

Craig Saddlemire: Cayer brings people together
I served on the Lewiston City Council with Mark Cayer when he was the chairman, beginning in 2012. Our council had a wide range of differing life experiences and political views, but one thing that brought us together was a commitment to reviewing the facts of each issue and making decisions in the best interest […]
Joseph Philippon: Cayer will improve Lewiston’s safety
Mark Cayer will improve Lewiston’s safety. I care a great deal about Lewiston, our safety and security, and understand the importance of sound leadership to guide the city. For Lewiston to be even safer, we must address our challenges with realistic solutions that deal with the many complex issues the city faces now and will […]
Irene Coady: Lasagne will fight for her constituents
I am writing to express my enthusiastic support for Ward 1 Councilor Holly Lasagna in November. Here’s why: she is a good listener, gives thoughtful consideration to each issue, and works hard for her district. In our neighborhood several residents felt unsafe at night due to a lack of streetlights. For years we had been […]
Janet Kinney: Make use of tidal power
Gov. Janet Mills, legislators, business people and engineers should be looking to utilize the Atlantic Ocean tides for renewable energy. The tides have been dependable for as long as I can remember. Where are the engineers? This nation needs their help. Janet Kinney, Jay
Sue Charron: Mark Cayer for mayor
Mark is passionate about the city of Lewiston. His experience as a city councilor, council president and school committee chairperson makes him the best choice for the mayor of Lewiston. I had the opportunity, as Lewiston’s social services director, to witness Mark in action. He treats staff and residents with respect and he listens intently […]
Camille Parrish: Vote for Holly Lasagna, Auburn City Council
I have been attending the Auburn City Council meetings in the past year with some regularity. Holly Lasagna’s votes reflect consideration for her Ward 1 constituents, as well as the best interests of all Auburn citizens. She clearly takes the time to determine sound reasons for her votes. I have been thoroughly impressed with her […]
Jim Wellehan: Katie Boss for Auburn at-large seat
The most exciting candidate for an at-large council seat in Auburn stopped at our house a few days ago. She is bright, ethical, concerned about Auburn’s well-being, environment and the well-being of its citizens of all ages and means. It’s a pleasure for me to endorse Katie Boss for election to an at-large seat, and […]
Joseph Widell: Voting for Holly Lasagna
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 […]
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 […]
