Tim Cowan was visiting my neighborhood recently. He is a candidate for Auburn City Council in Ward 2. Luckily I was home and got to meet a gentleman with Auburn on his mind. He is determined to listen to everyone. He sees Lake Auburn as a priority. He wants to consider data and weigh all […]

I am writing in support of Leroy Walker, who is running for Auburn city councilor. Ward 5 has come far with Leroy’s leadership.
