Now, more then ever before, every town across America needs and deserves a leader who puts the welfare, safety and best interests of its people above all else. In Mayor Jim Auxer, Shepherdstown has such a leader. First elected in 2008, Jim’s leadership has since worked to maintain the town’s status as a crown jewel of West Virginia.

Today, however, with a pandemic laying waste to many towns, Shepherdstown is also feeling the pain. But we have a mayor who is working tirelessly to keep all town employees on the job and maintain the cleanliness and services of the town. We have a leader who is in constant contact with town committee members, seeing that all information is verified, the public is informed and needs, especially those of the elderly, don’t go unnoticed.

As for the upcoming election, Jim Auxer is the right man for any time. Shepherdstown is lucky to have him.
