We have known John Holman for over 20 years. He’s a wonderful husband and father, but also an amiable golf buddy, helpful neighbor and formidable Apple Cup rival.

John has deep roots in our Auburn community as a graduate of Auburn Senior High, Central Washington University and the FBI Academy. He serves as a devoted board member of the Green River Community College Foundation.

John is running for City Council, and his election would be of great benefit to our citizenry. He has excellent organizational skills, as would be expected from having a distinguished career as captain of the Port of Seattle Police Department. He has the tenacity for problem solving and always a willingness to hear both sides of an issue in order to collaborate for the best solution.

The people of Auburn should vote for John this fall in order to add to the council a wise and experienced person with a passion for his community.
