Robert (Bob) Baggett

As I mentioned before, our city is growing with currently more than 80,000 residents, and there remains much work to be done as we move towards the 100,000 number in the next few years.

For the past three (3+) years, I have served as YOUR Councilmember and for 2018 as your Deputy Mayor. With council approval of our biennial budget for 2019-2020,
our Mayor and City Department Directors will continue to move our city forward. Just today, we broke ground on a new 7-story , mixed use building to be located directly across the street from the Merrill Gardens Retirement Center. This new building will be known as the Auburn Town Center, with retail on the ground floor and residences above. Another multi-story building is expected to break ground directly across Main Street from your City Hall perhaps this summer. Did I mention that we are growing?

On a very personal note, I again want to thank my lovely wife Pattee for her continued love and support, my many friends and colleagues at the city for their valued mentorship and guidance, and to the voters in our city who placed their confidence and trust in me in when I was elected to this office.

I will have so much more important information to share with everyone very soon as we move forward with the election process in 2019, so please stay tuned!! Thanks again!!”

Posted on Baggett’s campaign Facebook page: “I am seeking re-election to the Auburn City Council this year, because I want to continue to serve the citizens of Auburn. My 45-year career with The Boeing Company, in union and management positions, my 8-year prior service with the Auburn Planning Commission, and as an active leader and volunteer in the Auburn community, have prepared me to meet the continuing challenges as your Council representative. I continue to believe that we must be prepared to meet future growth with efficient and effective planning tempered with sound fiscal responsibility. During my first term as Councilmember and, as your Deputy Mayor, I supported a transparent government that listens to our residents. Our population has grown to more than 82,000, and I shared in the excitement to see the opening of our new Community and Event Center; our new hotels to support the growing tourism; and I continue to look forward to our city’s expansion thereby creating new businesses and prosperity for future generations to come. There is still much to do in the years ahead, and I ask for your vote and support so that together we can continue to make Auburn a place we all know is “More Than We Imagined.””
