Jeff Harmon has always been a natural leader.

During his first career in law enforcement and public service he began as a patrol officer in the Auburn Police Department. Based on his leadership skills, he rose to become the deputy chief of the Maine State Police.

Then in his second career with a software company, Constellation Software, his leadership skills were recognized again; he was promoted to the position of general manager for three of the company’s business divisions.

More recently he has been a leader actively involved with three citizens groups advocating for sensible growth in Auburn, and protecting Lake Auburn’s drinking water and the natural resources in the Agricultural & Natural Resources areas in rural Auburn.

Jeff is the kind of leader that Auburn needs to put it back on the right track. I hope people join me in supporting Jeff Harmon for mayor in November.
