The following are my choices for Lewiston mayor, City Council and School Committee:

Mayor: Benjamin Chin.

City Council: Ward 1, James Lysen; Ward 2, Marc Roy; Ward 3, unopposed; Ward 4, unopposed; Ward 5, Kristen Cloutier; Ward 6, Joline Landry Bean; Ward 7, Kristine Kittridge.

For Lewiston School Committee: At-large, John Butler Jr.; Ward 1, unopposed; Ward 2, Paul St. Pierre; Ward 3, unopposed; Ward 4, James Handy (chairperson); Ward 5, Jama Aden Mohamed; Ward 6, Dawn Hartill; Ward 7, Thomas Shannon.

Those listed are the candidates who I fully support. With a population of more than 36,000, it saddens me that one quarter of the seats are unopposed as it limits choice.

Where is the spirit of civic duty?

I encourage Lewiston residents to vote.
