Welcome!

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.
