Auburn City Council Ward 5 is overdue for new representation.

I recently met Stefanie Mahr-Damien while she was canvassing my neighborhood. I was happy to see someone who is passionate, motivated and willing to step up to the plate for Ward 5.

Stefanie is a candidate who would work to bring back an efficient recycling system, protect the water quality of Lake Auburn, and work to tackle the growing homelessness issue in our city.

The last thing Auburn needs is another two years of the same administration that has worked primarily to advance its own agendas — much to the benefit of large real estate developers — while turning a blind eye to what Auburn residents really need: honest, logical decision makers who will listen to public input and put the needs of Auburn residents first.
