Although I have been in the City of Lewiston for only a year and a half, in that time I have followed the political landscape of this city and know that change is needed. I understand that Ben Chin is young, but there comes a time when the way of doing things has to change, […]

Macdonald should serve another term
Regarding the November election of a mayor in Lewiston, I have known Robert Macdonald for years. He has proven himself to be a good police officer. He is intelligent and, best of all, he has a lot of common sense. He also knows how to be mayor of Lewiston because he has already served two […]

J. Mailey: Educated, well spoken
This fall, Lewiston has an opportunity to elect a mayor who will work for all of Lewiston rather than a select few. He understands the issues affecting Lewiston, such as: • a downtown that is not growing; • neighborhoods filled with crime, poverty, hunger and poor living conditions; and • new Mainers who, like the […]

J. Parakilas: Providing real leadership
It takes moral integrity to provide real leadership in government. State government is dissolving into chaos because Gov. Paul LePage completely lacks moral integrity. In November, the voters of Lewiston can elect a mayor who has that integrity: Ben Chin. He has enough respect for his fellow Lewistonians to go to residents’ doors and ask […]

S. Pelletier: A tireless public servant
I am excited by the prospect of Larry Gilbert being elected Lewiston’s next mayor. A tireless public servant, he offers a positive attitude and a helping hand where it’s needed — neighborhood cleanups, homeless youth projects, advocating for Lewiston in Augusta and Washington, D.C. In contrast, I am dismayed by Mayor Bob Macdonald’s denigrating low-income […]

I am writing to express my unshakable support for Larry Gilbert for mayor. His commitment to Lewiston is undeniable. He was born in Maine and family circumstances took him to California, where he graduated from high school. When it came time to settle down and raise a family, he and his wife chose Lewiston. He […]

M. Gilbert: Best man for Lewiston
Mayoral candidate Larry Gilbert is a proven, dedicated leader. Don’t just take it from me, his older brother, look at his record — a lifetime of dedicated service to his country, his community and his family. He was born in Lewiston and raised his family here. He is a Vietnam veteran, was Lewiston’s police chief, […]
