LEWISTON — Candidates in three city wards will return to office after Nov. 5’s election without being challenged — barring write-in candidates.
Ward 2’s Donald D’Auteuil, Ward 3’s Nate Libby and Ward 6’s Mark Cayer have no challengers on November’s ballot.
D’Auteuil was elected to the council in 2011 and is Mayor Robert Macdonald’s appointee to the School Committee. He works as a loan underwriter for TD Bank and is involved local youth hockey programs.
Lewiston’s Ward 2 is divided into two sections. One runs from Russell and Sabattus streets north to the Greene border between College Street and Old Greene Road. The second runs among Pond Road, Sabattus Street and the Greene and Sabattus borders.
Ward 2 voters should go to Montello School, 407 East Ave., to cast their ballots.
Libby also joined the City Council in 2011 and was also elected as Lewiston representative to the state Legislature in 2012.
Ward 3 wraps around the northern part of the downtown and includes Bates College, the Armory and St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center as well as the Oak Street Parking Garage and the Central Fire station. It includes the area bordered by Park Street in the west, Main Street in the north, Sabattus and Bartlett streets in the east and Ash Street in the south as well as the area among Bradley, Webster and Walnut streets and the area from Sabattus and Webster streets north to Russell Street among Main, Oak and College in the west and East Avenue in the east.
Ward 3 voters go to the Lewiston Armory, 65 Central Ave., to vote.
Cayer was first elected to the City Council in 2009 and was selected by fellow councilors in 2011 to serve as council president. Cayer works as a private investigator and owns his own business, Maine PI Service.
Ward 6 is the southernmost ward in the city and includes the entire tip of Lewiston from Lisbon Street and the Maine Turnpike all the way south between the Androscoggin River on the west and the borders with Sabattus and Lisbon.
Voters in Ward 6 are changing voting locations this year. They’ll go to the the Green Ladle/Lewiston Regional Technical Center on the Lewiston High School Campus, 156 East Ave., to cast their ballots.
