The City of Auburn Hills, a dynamic community committed to innovation and growth, announced yesterday that Kevin McDaniel has been re-elected by his peers on the Auburn Hills City Council to serve as Mayor for another two-year term. A fourth generation and life-long resident of Auburn Hills, Kevin McDaniel has served on the City Council since 2007. He was first elected as Mayor in 2013.  With his re-election at the November 15 City Council meeting, Kevin McDaniel begins his fifth term as Mayor of Auburn Hills.

During the meeting, Mayor McDaniel congratulated City Council Members Eugene Hawkins III, Bob Kittle, and Henry Knight on their re-election to office and welcomed new City Council Member Timothy Carrier.

“I am eager to continue serving the city I love as Mayor and am grateful for the support of my fellow Council Members. As a team, along with City Manager Tom Tanghe and staff, we look forward to growing our community and connecting with the many residents and businesses that thrive here,” said Mayor McDaniel.
