I am endorsing Mike Marcotte for reelection for Lewiston City Council for Ward 7. He believes in listening to his constituents’ views before voting on something. He believes in saving neighborhoods from being overrun by developers. He helped stop a rezoning attempt and saved our neighborhood. He stood up for residents when a rezoning proposal […]

I am happy to support my neighbor Bonnie Hayes for reelection to the Ward 2 seat on the Auburn School Committee. Bonnie is a true public servant who has worked tirelessly on the school committee and cares deeply about the education of Auburn’s children. Because she knows and understands our community, she has been a […]

I have been grateful to see the many letters of support for my wife Katie Boss’ campaign for Auburn City Council at-large. Those letters have attested to her outstanding leadership qualities, her experience serving the city of Auburn, and her ability to work with people from different backgrounds to build stronger communities. What I can […]

As both a homeowner and business owner in Auburn, I have legitimate concerns as to how city government works. As we approach Election Day 2019, one city council candidate stands out as having my (and many others in the same category) interests in his heart. I’ll be supporting Matt Leonard for city council at-large, thanks […]

Children are artists by instinct. They sing and dance, draw and shape, mime and narrate without prompting. As they grow up, they need instruction and encouragement to harness those instincts. By studying the arts, they can learn to feed their own imaginations and the imaginations of others. They need to find that instruction and encouragement […]

I am writing to voice my support for the many candidates running for Auburn School Committee this election year, including Pam Hart, David Simpson, Karen Mathieu, Victoria Langelier and Olga Dolgicer. These candidates are parents with children currently in Auburn schools, and have a very good idea of the challenges that currently exist in our […]

In all my dealings with Stephanie Gelinas, I have always known her to be a thoughtful, intelligent and, above all, ethical person. As the founder and director of Sandcastle Clinical, and with her stint as board chair at the L.A. Metro Chamber of Commerce, we know she has the ability to lead. I feel she […]

The mark of an excellent elected official is constituent care. Bob Hayes (Ward 2) and Holly Lasagna (Ward 1) excel with that standard. I worked with both Auburn city councilors, now running for re-election, on an issue affecting my neighborhood which straddles both wards. They responded promptly, visited the area to view the problem, put […]

Sen. Susan Collins is no longer “Our Senator.” She no longer listens to Mainers, only corporate special interest groups. She recently took 95% of her campaign money from outside of Maine, including $1.5 million from big business. Her vote in support of the Trump tax bill continues to worsen record wealth inequality and add about […]
