For her first term, Kristen Cloutier has done an excellent job on the Lewiston City Council, and I look forward to having her represent Ward 5 for a second term. She brings a positive attitude and a forward-thinking vision to her service in local government. She is thoughtful, solution-oriented and not afraid to support bold ideas for change in our community.

This is a decisive moment for Lewiston. The political choice is between resisting the inevitability of change or guiding that change in a way that advantages everyone in this city.

I will be voting for candidates who can understand change, embrace it and lead the people toward new and positive visions for the city. That is the leadership style that will promote new investment, new families and a healthy future for Lewiston.
