About Lewiston Smart

Lewiston SMART is a political non-profit group formed by a group of concerned local citizens with the goal of transforming Lewiston’s city government to make it accountable to the people. The members of Lewiston SMART believe that Lewiston’s current "council-manager plan" form of city government is failing to properly serve its citizens. The Lewiston City Manager operates with little accountability to the voters. Lewiston SMART’s Strong Mayor Ballot Initiative will give the voters the opportunity to continue the current dysfunctional “council-manger plan", or change Lewiston’s form of government to an ELECTED “Strong Mayor" who manages the city and is accountable directly to the voters.

Lewiston SMART’s April 30th City Hall Campaign Kick-off Delayed

By Joseph Gish • 29 Apr, 2021

Lewiston SMART has decided to delay the “Strong Mayor” Ballot Initiative campaign kickoff to a later date. Our original plan was to kick off the campaign on April 30 th at City Hall and turn the last of the petitions to the city clerk. However, the city clerk has asked us not to turn in anymore petitions and since the state legislature is still in session, several folks who we wanted to attend the campaign kick-off are unavailable. We have decided to delay the kick-off for a few weeks. To recap, the Lewiston SMART petition volunteers collected the required signatures to get the Strong Mayor Initiative on the Nov 2 nd ballot in just 3 ½ weeks! Thanks to everyone who participated. We are still collecting petitions from volunteers and estimate we have 1500 to 2000 total signatures when only 815 were required to get it on the ballot. We will be watching to see when the state legislature finishes their session and determine a new campaign kick-off date at that time. Regards, Joseph Gish (Chairman Lewiston SMART)
