Kathryn S. Mazierski, who has worked as a political consultant and is a former president of the state chapter of National Organization for Women, is challenging incumbent Fred M. Newlin II for the Democratic nomination in the Lewiston town supervisor’s race. Her first name was wrong in Sunday’s paper, and her political background was omitted.
