I support Larry Gilbert as Lewiston’s next mayor.

With his positive personality, Gilbert was an exceptional mayor before and has shown he genuinely cares about the community. During his previous tenure, he proved how much he cares about showcasing the city in a positive light.

As a senior in high school, I realize how important it is that the mayor represents Lewiston well, and doesn’t let the city become the laughingstock of the state.

I am confident that Gilbert will represent all the people of Lewiston, and not attack certain cultures in this community. I am displeased that the current mayor has not shown these character traits.

Gilbert has been there for me in life when times were tough. Without his help, I do not know where I would be today.

For all those reasons, I support Larry Gilbert as Lewiston’s next mayor.
