The Lewiston City Council’s Ward 5 issue involved the resignation of Mr. Osman and the subsequent appointment of Chrissy Noble as the new councilor. The process was dramatic, with various individuals, including David Jones, a candidate for governor, testifying. Jones argued that the logical choice would have been Sewell, the only candidate on the ballot if Osman hadn’t lied about his residency.
