Backus is the right choice for mayor

I support Nancy Backus for mayor. She will bring a fresh, independent leadership approach, representing all citizens of Auburn.

The five councilmembers not running for mayor all support Nancy. They have worked with her and are confident of her ability to manage and represent the city. She has the knowledge, experience, dedication and integrity to address the needs of our growing city.

Auburn doesn’t need a fix. We have great parks, a municipal airport, one of the best municipal golf courses in the state and excellent schools.

We need street repairs and replacement, support for new and existing businesses and development, and support for public safety.

As a former councilmember and business owner, I know what kind of a leader it takes to make positive things happen. Nancy Backus is that person.
