As a strong supporter of the arts, I urge voters in Lewiston to support the new $13 million addition at Lewiston High School. Teachers and students need to be moved out of the current storage area and given a new and expanded opportunity in order to experience music, art, culture and theater in an environment […]

I would endorse Eric Rohrbach’s observation that what we see from President Trump is “not the behavior of an innocent man” (Sun Journal, Oct. 13). The president invites foreign election interference by seeking dirt from Ukraine on a political opponent. He then tries to hide his elaborate scheme of extortion by withholding documents and witness […]

Auburn voters have a great opportunity this election to hit the reset button for our schools. For decades a small clique of Auburn socialites and elites have held the reins of power over one of the most important functions of city government. The result has been disastrous for children and families — with an abundance […]

Seldom have I come across a person I could categorize as non-partisan. A person who does not fit any patterns of orthodox ideology. Mark Cayer is one of those unique creatures who sees the world through a lens of practicality and true fairness. I have watched Mark field very difficult questions and he never gets […]

The guest column by Educate Maine’s Jason Judd (Oct. 13) was spot-on: to grow Maine’s current and future workforce, the public and private sectors must commit to making sure all Maine people have the educational training, credentials and experience needed to succeed in Maine’s 21st century economy.

Pam will dedicate herself to our educators and students and undoubtedly serve our community well. […]

Lewiston has come a long way in recent years. We now have one college and the campuses for three universities in our city, as well as a brand new elementary school. Progress is being made on the redevelopment of Mill 5, with three prospective tenants seriously considering that key location. New businesses are moving into […]

Every election is a vote for the future we want for ourselves and our families. I think most people want a community that draws ideas from all corners and all comers. I think we want a community that is committed to improving schools and whose energy attracts the new citizens we need. We all yearn […]

Auburn residents need to re-elect Belinda Gerry for Auburn city councilor-at-large. No one takes her public servant position more seriously, and devotes countless hours to her city council work and in volunteering for community projects to help make Auburn a better place to live. She is dedicated, hardworking and treats everyone with respect. Belinda takes […]

As a resident of Auburn who lives in Ward 2, I give my full support to Pam Hart for Auburn School Committee. Pam is willing to engage in conversation, listens, and treats others with respect and dignity. I encourage others in Ward 2 to join me in voting for Pam Hart. Sara Bartlett, Auburn
