Today I met the political future of this amazing city, if we choose to vote and make a statement.

Jeff Harmon is running for Auburn mayor, and he is the real deal.

When is the last time folks met a person running for office who possesses uncommon common sense and is seeking public office to actually make positive change, instead of seeking personal gain or using it as a steppingstone to higher positions or grandiose plans?

It was great to meet Jeff Harmon and be face-to-face with humanity, decency and service to others.

So, if folks see a gentleman who looks like he stepped out from a Norman Rockwell painting, canvassing the neighborhood, looking to share his vision for a place he clearly cares about, I hope they take the time to converse with him.

It could prove to be mighty pleasing.
