Residents of Auburn are very fortunate this fall to have Jeff Harmon running for mayor.

Jeff brings with him a wealth of professional experience in law enforcement and the private sector. He has demonstrated deep dedication to this community, where he and his wife have lived for over 30 years and raised two children.

Like many cities its size, Auburn faces numerous challenges, from housing issues and zoning to water quality and economic development. To grapple with those issues, community members need to feel that their voices are being heard and taken seriously.

True leadership involves respectful listening; Jeff would help create an environment where that could happen.

He would be a collaborative leader for Auburn as we aim to live up to our commitment to “no steps backward.”
