I would like to thank Ryan Hawes for his willingness to step up and get involved in Auburn politics. Ryan is running for the Ward 2 seat on the Auburn City Council.

Ryan is a man of impeccable integrity and credentials. A United States Marine who served our country in Afghanistan, he currently is a vice president at a local financial institution. He is sharp and intelligent, and carefully listens to both sides of an issue put before him.

Honesty, sometimes so lacking in our world today, is of utmost importance to Ryan Hawes. In our great republic, he represents us from his council seat, and we should strive to elect a dynamic person of energy in that position.
