Partridge has the skills, character to be mayor

It is rare you meet a politician you feel you can trust and have full confidence in. It's my honor to write that John Partridge is such a politician.

Here’s how I got to know John Partridge

I, and several other residents of H Street Northeast, invited mayoral candidates Nancy Backus and John Partridge to meet with us regarding the reconstruction of our street. Partridge was the only mayoral candidate to respond.

It is apparent that John Partridge blends his political will for the City of Auburn with his will to be an advocate for the citizens of Auburn.

And here’s why I am voting for John Partridge

I am voting for Partridge because he is principled and offers the following qualities: accountable; analytical; attention to the details; creditability; independent thinker; interpersonal/professional communication skills; knowledge of Auburn city governance; listens carefully; leadership and confidence; negotiation and consensus building skills.

These personal/professional characteristics drive my decision to vote for John Partridge. I hope you agree and vote for Partridge. As citizens of Auburn, we have too much at stake to miss this opportunity.
