As a young resident of Auburn, I care about ensuring this is a safe, welcoming town for years to come.

I will be voting for Stefanie Mahr Damien to be our next Ward 5 city councilor, because I know she would work hard to make this a reality. She demonstrates the stability and sensibility we deserve from our elected officials. She listens wholeheartedly to constituents and is a creative problem solver.

Stefanie has the energy and drive to find sensible solutions to the questions surrounding development and Auburn’s future. Whether it’s protecting our drinking water or taking care of our senior citizens, Stefanie would work in our collective best interest.

I hope people vote for Stefanie this Nov. 7, in person or absentee.

Lynn Kovitch, Auburn
