Like many of you, over two days, I watched the news in horror. My heart broke for the families of the victims.

We blame the politicians for not doing anything to protect our community from guns, but we are the ones who voted those politicians into office. We are a […]

In the November election, I will be voting to reelect Belinda Gerry for one of the at-large positions on the Auburn City Council. I have known Belinda Gerry for over a decade. In everything she does, Belinda brings with her care and compassion for the people of our community — especially for our seniors. To […]
