I am pleased to endorse Jim Pross for City Council in Auburn’s Ward 1.

I have known Pross and his family for many years as a neighbor, the husband of a former student, a proud father, and as a dedicated community member. His actions speak volumes. He has been active in Literacy Volunteers and the Androscoggin Land Trust. He cares deeply about education and is skilled at working with disparate views and building consensus.

Pross understands this community and is committed to helping it grow and prosper. He is supremely dependable, very bright and a gifted problem solver. He puts people first and every decision is weighed with an eye to the future.

The next few years matter. Electing Pross to the City Council matters. He will ensure that Auburn remains a place people can be proud to call home.

I will be voting for Jim Pross for City Council.

Joan Macri, Auburn
