I am a lifelong resident of the Lewiston-Auburn area. I have known Matthew D. Agren for more than 25 years. He is a conscientious worker, a thoughtful man, a capable and innovative thinker and a self-educated student of history. I believe he would do well on the School Committee. I have watched him mentor older […]

Carl Sheline is a positive force for the people of Lewiston and should continue as its mayor. I know firsthand that Lewiston is a wonderful place to live, work and raise a family. I lived and worked there for years. It’s where I met and married my husband, where he ran his business and where […]

Lewiston residents should vote for Luke Jenson for mayor this election, not only because we desperately need change, but because Luke lives and breathes the changes needed for our city.
