I am seeking re-election to the Auburn City Council, because I want to continue to serve the citizens of Auburn.  My 45-year career with The Boeing Company in union and management positions, prior service with the Auburn Planning Commission, and as an active volunteer and leader in the Auburn community, have prepared me to meet the continuing challenges as your Council representative.  We must be prepared to meet future growth with efficient and effective planning tempered with sound fiscal responsibility.  During my first term as Council member and your Deputy Mayor, I supported a transparent government that listens to our residents.  Our population has grown to more than 82,000 residents,and I shared in the excitement of our new Community and Event Center; new hotels to support our growing tourism; and I continue to look forward to our city's expansion thereby creating new businesses and prosperity for future generations to come.
