There is an old expression that “all politics is local.” Never is this axiom truer than in the upcoming general election where the voters of Auburn will be asked to decide whether or not to replace aging Auburn High School.

Of all the important issues and choices on the November ballot, none can be more important than recognizing the importance of quality schools as a measure of a community’s viability.

Modern schools are important to the “cycle of prosperity” that lifts everyone in the Auburn community up. Strong schools lead to more successful students, better teachers, stronger families, stronger businesses, less crime and stronger property values among many other benefits.

Please join us in voting yes on the Auburn High School reconstruction bond and yes to a stronger Auburn community.
