Business owners and hard-working individuals understand that socialism is a philosophy of failure.

Winston Churchill once stated, “The creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery…” To put that in plain terms: What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

I am tired of politics as usual. I am interested in moving onward, toward creating real business development while rebuilding a fresh and inviting environment for Lewiston.

It is time to take a step toward removing self-serving political individuals from within local government. That is why I support Bob Macdonald for mayor of the city of Lewiston.
