Two voices for all Lebanon residents
A community is strongest when all residents are empowered to advocate for their needs within local government. To achieve this, elected officials must be willing to connect with community members who are in need, understand and empathize with them, and use their position of power to be their champion in government. This is not easy work. It requires time, effort, care and compassion.
This is why I strongly support Devin Wilkie (Ward 2) and Sylvia Puglisi (at-large) for Lebanon City Council on March 9. Both these candidates have demonstrated that they will put in the work to be the people’s advocate in Lebanon city government.

LEBANON Candidates running to replace three outgoing members of the Lebanon School Board are divided over the district’s future priorities.
One group wants to see the city’s aging school buildings upgraded and a high value placed on new programs and services for Lebanon’s 1,600 students. Meanwhile, another trio say they wants to provide children with a quality education, but one that doesn’t come at the cost of overburdening lower-income and elderly households.
