I enthusiastically endorse Katie Boss in her bid for an at-large seat on Auburn’s City Council. I have had the pleasure of getting to know her as a member of the Complete Streets Committee, where she asks great questions and has gone the extra mile to represent us on the Court Street Advisory Committee. As […]

A security upgrade is needed for the front entrance, arts and special education classes are currently held in rooms with poor air quality that were never intended to be classrooms, many teachers move their “classrooms” around on carts, and the […]

It is with enthusiasm that I endorse Tim Lajoie for mayor. I have known Tim for 37 years and he is an intelligent, fair and compassionate man who has been dedicated to the public safety of our city for the past 30 years. His invaluable experience in public service highlights his allegiance to our community […]

I wish to recommend Pam Hart for Auburn School Committee Ward 2 in our upcoming fall election. Pam has been a good friend and neighbor for several years, and our families came to know each other well through Auburn school functions and Auburn Suburban sporting events.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Lee Clement for the past 10 years. And while I am not a resident of Lewiston, I was glad to hear that Lee is running for Lewiston City Council. In our many conversations over the past decade, I have found Lee to be very knowledgeable about current issues […]
