While serving on the Lewiston City Council, Kristen Cloutier has demonstrated that she is an outstanding public servant. I have observed her dedication to both Ward 5 and to the city as a whole.

Cloutier has tirelessly served her community as the City Council representative on the Lewiston School Committee, Lewiston 21st Century Advisory Board and District Proficiency-Based Learning Committee for the Lewiston School Department, Lewiston-Auburn Public Health Committee, Lewiston Comprehensive Plan Committee and on the Community Advisory Board, University of Maine Lewiston-Auburn College.

She was elected city council president by her fellow councilors in her second and third term in office.

She will bring vision, expertise and proven leadership skills, along with the willingness to thoughtfully and thoroughly research issues and listen closely to constituents’ concerns to the Maine State House of Representatives.

I hope others will join me in casting a vote for Kristen Cloutier.
