Ben Chin has vision for Lewiston that is forward-looking, inclusive and innovative. It is a vision that will help Lewiston continue to capitalize on its assets, be competitive in an ever-changing and unpredictable world and serve the many communities that make Lewiston the great city it is.

More importantly, Chin’s vision is backed by real and authentic action. His willingness to put his own boots on the ground and his dogged commitment to solving some of the most difficult issues is not just admirable, it is essential; essential if Lewiston will ever truly create change that benefits the many and not just the few.

It is for these reasons I have already voted (again) for Ben Chin at City Hall in anticipation of the run-off election. People may vote early at City Hall through Thursday, Dec. 8, or on run-off day, Tuesday, Dec. 12, at Longley Elementary.
