Chuck Ellis sits down with Bret Martell, Lewiston City Councilor and Republican candidate for Maine House District 95. Bret grew up in Lewiston-Auburn, graduated from Edward Little High School in 2001, and says COVID-era government actions and worsening conditions pushed him into politics.

They discuss public safety and youth violence in Lewiston, justice system accountability, police staffing, record school spending with declining results, the struggles of downtown small businesses, a controversial low-barrier homeless shelter contract, and why local elections matter.
