Long before Carl Sheline was interested in elected office in Lewiston, I have always marveled at his enthusiasm and outright love for this community. It is often heard today that people are looking for someone who is “authentic” and “genuine.” That perfectly described Carl long before those descriptions became fashionable. He is that same person […]

The tactic employed by those who took away the Penobscot Nation’s right to the river that bears their name, for good reason, is currently being employed by those who wish to block the transmission of clean energy generated in Quebec through Maine. Where right to the Penobscot River is concerned, a cabal of corporations looking […]

Heather Benson is exactly who our Lewiston School Committee needs to help shape policy and put the educational outcomes of our students first. She understands the needs of students and parents alike and would be sure to keep those needs forefront, instead of an ideology or specific agenda. I would be proud to have her […]

I am supporting Caleb Roebuck for Lewiston Ward 2 city councilor. Some believe a person needs to live a long time in a community and be over the age of 60 to be a good representative. This is simply not true. It says a lot about a person when they come live in Lewiston, realize […]

Megan Parks is the kind of humble leader Lewiston needs. While working with Megan I have observed her risk losing her own job to fight for her staff and clients’ best interests. She has sat with, cried with, and supported people in serious crisis with the kind of compassion and strength that is needed. In […]

Bravo to Carl Sheline for taking action and running for mayor of Lewiston. When it comes to “supporting local,” Carl is at the top of my list. It has been inspiring to watch him raise his family, grow strong business, actively participate with the chamber of commerce, volunteer in community events and more. Meanwhile, he […]

It is my pleasure to write this endorsement of Paul Beauparlant for Lewiston School Committee in Ward 7. I worked with Paul at Edward Little High School for 43 years and found him to be one of the most honest, honorable men I know. He is well-loved by both students and staff for his sense […]

Megan Parks is first and foremost a dedicated steadfast advocate for children, a cooperative competent professional when working with parents and teachers alike, and a committed, proven public servant for our community who seeks creative solutions educating and protecting children in an unbiased way. What an amazing definition of a school board leader/member. If that […]
