I am very pleased to support John Cleveland’s candidacy for state senator in his bid to return to public service representing Senate District 15.

I have known Cleveland since his early terms as Auburn’s youngest city councilor, during which he served with distinction , and which was then followed by two terms as Auburn’s mayor and four terms as state senator representing Senate District 15.

During his tenure as senator, he served on the important Appropriations Committee and chaired the Utility and Energy Committee.

John Cleveland has an admirable record of leadership and community service, both in the public and private sectors, and I heartily endorse his candidacy.

Ralph Tuttle, Auburn
