As a current school committee member, I see huge potential in her ability to effectuate positive change for Lewiston’s school district.

Pick a realistic candidate
I am confused. Reading the letters to the editor in the support of Ben Chin — exactly what office is he running for? Mayor? The state Legislature? Congress? Social Security, minimum wage, Medicare/Medicaid are state and federal issues. Plowing, paving roads and garbage collection are city issues. On housing, lead paint and opioid issues are […]

Bouchard knows Lewiston
I am writing in support of Shane Bouchard to be elected as Lewiston’s next mayor. I have observed Bouchard while he served on the city council. In his personal and professional lives, he is a consistent individual. What you see is what you get with him. He is the only candidate who has consistently lived […]

I have known Shannon for several years and served on the school committee with him and other committees, such as the new Connors School Building Committee. Shannon has worked for the city of Lewiston for more than 25 years, […]
