I am impressed with Jeff Harmon.
Running hard for mayor of Auburn, he absolutely understands the challenges facing the city and its residents. He understands the city manager form of government and how it should work.
His many years of working for the State Police and interacting with state government over policies, procedure and budgets has taught him the value of teamwork, long and short-term planning and collaboration.
Having dealt with real-world threats to his safety, he is undeterred when faced with opposition. Analytical and practical, he understands balancing the development of affordable housing with the needs of current residents in terms of city services.
Diplomatic but determined, he would protect the watershed while maximizing growth, all while keeping an eye on the budget and impact on property taxes.
He is the mayoral candidate Auburn has been waiting for. I hope people join me in voting for Jeff Harmon.
Joan Macri, Auburn
