Lewiston is fortunate to have Mike Lachance as the Ward 7 city councilor.

He listens to his neighbors, thoroughly researches all matters put before him as an elected representative and asks others in the ward for their opinions on more difficult issues.

Ward 7 needs someone who is a homeowner and taxpayer in the neighborhood and who has lived here long enough to truly understand this community and how to move forward.

We need someone who has strong values, respect for others and who is willing to put in the time required of the position.

We need his representation as a councilor, Finance Committee member, as a parent in our schools and as a volunteer in our community.

I hope others will join me in re-electing Mike Lachance in Ward 7. He is the best choice.
