I have not seen or heard why Ben Chin’s campaign funds are paid, in part, by interests outside of Lewiston and Maine. Why would anyone outside of Lewiston have an interest in helping Chin win an election? I understand the Bates College connection. He graduated from Bates and many from there are supporting him. I […]

Lewiston lucky to have Morgan
I am not a resident of Lewiston, therefore, I am unable to vote for a man who I think would make an outstanding mayor. I have known Steve Morgan for 12 years. He is one of the most loyal, caring men that I know; a man who will fight for what is right and boundless […]

The office of mayor of the city of Lewiston is ceremonial, except in cases whereby the City Council is tied in its vote; then the mayor can vote and break the tie. The mayor represents the city at events and at other venues. The mayor can make suggestions only as to how and what the […]

Chin a strong advocate for Lewiston
I agree with Sherie Blumenthal, “Chin will move Lewiston forward,” in her letter to the editor (Oct. 10). Lewiston is home for me, from being born in Lewiston to raising three, now grown, children.

Chin will bring positive change
Lewiston mayoral candidate Ben Chin continues to put forward meaningful proposals for the revitalization of the Lewiston community. These include creating a “model block” on Lisbon Street; encouraging owner-occupied housing in Lewiston, including cooperatives; and setting up an Office of New Mainers at City Hall to assist the integration of new residents. He also suggests […]

Mayor should be top authority
When Lewiston Mayor Robert Macdonald tries to do good for the taxpayers of Lewiston, other politicians try to handcuff him. I think the mayor of a city should be the most powerful figure. From what I have seen of the Lewiston City Council, with few exceptions, they do not have the taxpayers’ best interests in […]

It is time to elect a young, smart, energetic, positive mayor for Lewiston, and Ben Chin is that person. He has big plans and is not afraid to speak publicly about them. Lewiston is on the cusp of […]
