Community Service: Auburn Parks and Recreation Board member.

Statement: For the last 12 years my wife Deborah and I have made Auburn our home. I’ve spent more than 25 years as a production scheduler and planner in the electronics and aerospace industry. In addition to working in the private sector, I volunteer at the Auburn Parks and Recreation Board. That experience in the public sector has given me an understanding of Auburn’s current land management issues. As a result, I know that if we want Auburn to continue to grow and thrive, as a community we must address key issues like homelessness, affordable housing, quality of life and jobs for our city now.

Endorsements: Auburn Mayor Nancy Backus, Auburn Councilman Larry Brown, Congresswoman Dr. Kim Schrier; Congressman Adam Smith; 30th, 31st and 47th District Democrats; King County Democrats; Aerospace Machinist District 751. Please vote for James Jeyaraj, Auburn City Council.

The city council's job is to provide an environment that makes it possible for a safe, secure and prosperous community. We have local issues that need local solutions. We don't need to embrace the failed policies of the 'big city'. We need a voice of responsibility, and common sense on the City council.

I am not a polished politician, nor am I politically correct, I've been called brutally honest, and what you see is what you get. You can expect me to do what is right for the community, not special interests. Auburn Is my special interest, my home of 15 years.

You work hard for the money in which you pay your taxes, and you deserve representation that works just as hard to responsibly spend those tax dollars in order to provide the services you expect, A vote for me, is a vote for you, and your voice!
