With dirty politics and vitriol playing out on the national scene, it is refreshing to endorse an ethical candidate for local public office. I hope people join me in voting for Megan Parks as she seeks her fifth term on the Lewiston School Committee. Parks analyzes challenges within the school system without bias and encourages […]

Letters to the editor of the Sun Journal.
Richard Bernier: Sheline is ‘doing a great job’ for Lewiston
Mayor Carl Sheline really cares about Lewiston and has compassion for its people. I am proud to say that I will be voting for this amazing man. I hope others do the same. He’s doing a great job; there is no need to change. Richard A. Bernier, Lewiston
Monique Roy: Parks’ reelection ‘a good choice for the Lewiston community’
Megan Parks has been a steady and strong advocate for Lewiston families for years as a School Committee member. She is dedicated and thoughtful in her approach, and she never backs down from the tough issues. Reelecting Megan is a good choice for the Lewiston community. Monique Roy, Lewiston
Ralph Tuttle: Harmon would treat Auburn citizens with dignity, respect as mayor
I hope Auburn voters choose Jeff Harmon as our next mayor. After my joining with many other Auburn residents in petitioning against proposed zoning changes and for the the continued protection of Lake Auburn from further area housing development, it seems that these efforts have been consistently deflected or ignored by the current city government […]
Megan Parks: Beauparlant, Longchamps deserve Lewiston’s votes
As a Lewiston Ward 7 resident and property owner in Ward 2, I’m voicing my support for Paul Beauparlant, current Ward 7 School Committee member, and Sue (Bergeron) Longchamps, Ward 2 City Council candidate. Serving alongside Paul, I have observed his dedication to examining issues meticulously before casting votes. He does this through the lens […]
In rebuttal: Mark Wood: Neal confuses superiority with exclusivity
I had no trouble with Bob Neal’s Sept. 23 column (“Strong words from north of the border“) about the political firestorm between India and Canada surrounding the murder on Canadian soil of a Sikk activist who was advocating for a Sikk state in India. But how Neal got it in his head to then compare […]
Mary Ann Norcross: Cowan would ‘do what’s best’ as Auburn councilor
Tim Cowan was visiting my neighborhood recently. He is a candidate for Auburn City Council in Ward 2. Luckily I was home and got to meet a gentleman with Auburn on his mind. He is determined to listen to everyone. He sees Lake Auburn as a priority. He wants to consider data and weigh all […]
Tina Gilbert: Vote Leroy Walker for experience, vibrant Auburn
I am writing in support of Leroy Walker, who is running for Auburn city councilor. Ward 5 has come far with Leroy’s leadership. All residents of Ward 5 have the opportunity each month to meet with Leroy at the council meeting at City Hall, at the monthly Community Downtown Business meetings at Rolly’s Diner, neighborhood […]
Joyce Richmond: Sheline’s reelection is in Lewiston’s best interest
I moved to Lewiston 65 years ago and have known many mayors. I have never met a mayor of Lewiston who was such an advocate, promoter and great voice for us than Carl Sheline. He is involved in every aspect of city life — he walks around the city getting to know our people, learning […]
Felicia Hinkley: Vote Parks for ‘a more just and equitable Lewiston’
Although I no longer live in Lewiston, I still work for a Lewiston nonprofit and have multiple connections in the community. I’ve worked with Megan Parks, at-large candidate for the School Committee, in a professional capacity for over five years. In that time, I’ve come to know her as a passionate, hardworking advocate for the […]
