Lewiston voters in November have the opportunity to elect Mark Paradis the next mayor of Lewiston.

Paradis was born and raised in Lewiston and is a lifelong resident. Mark is a former city councilor and has also served on both the planning board and finance committee. Mark realizes the everyday struggles families have and will work to make sure the city is living within its means.

I have known Mark for several years and he has the desire to serve and stands up for what he believes in. Lewiston needs to move forward with a mayor who has proven leadership skills.

Paradis has the experience and common sense to promote growth and development.

I will be proudly casting my vote for Mark Paradis.

Barry Putnam, Lewiston
