As someone who has lived in Lewiston for more than 25 years, I was delighted to learn that Joline Beam has offered to continue on as the city councilor for Ward 6.

Although I live two blocks from that ward, I am very much aware of Beam’s dedication to this city. She is a tireless advocate for the people in her district and for the positive future of the city as a whole.

On every issue, she is diligent in researching the impact on the community, including talking frequently with the people in her ward and with others who have expertise in that particular issue.

I hope my friends and neighbors in Ward 6 will vote for Joline Beam, thus allowing that dedicated and hard-working woman to continue her service to Lewiston.
