I would like to say a very special thanks to all of my supporters and voters out there who believed in me and gave me their support and vote in this year’s primary.

I would like to thank my family, friends and supporters from surrounding local cities/communities. I also would like to thank all the City personnel who have given their time to answer my questions and concerns.

I will continue to work with the mayor’s office and the City Council members to make Auburn a greater city. There is work that still needs to be done. I urge every citizen to find it in their heart to be able to help one another and work with our elected officials to fix the problems that our city faces now and in the future.

Get involved. A voice heard is a voice of influence, but a voice not heard is a voice of muteness. Be a voice of power, not a complainer.

Auburn citizens, organizations and business owners, this is an important time for the City of Auburn, with a new mayor to be elected and some new faces running for City Council. Get out and voice your standpoint. Just remember, you have to serve in order to lead.

A word of appreciation for all those hardworking city managers/directors and employees who I have gotten to know and meet and who have made the city what it is today. Keep up the great work.

I will ask the people who have taken my campaign signs to please return them to me by calling the number on the sign. I will gladly come and pick them up.

I wish all the candidates the best of luck in this upcoming election and may the best qualified candidate win. Time for change and accountability.
