I am happy to write a letter of support for my friend Amy Bublak in her race to remain a member of the Turlock City Council District 4.

I have known Amy for over a decade. We met when she was a Modesto Police officer and we have had many discussions concerning our community.

Amy is very passionate about serving her community and has the unique ability to make decisions that are always in the best interests of its residents. She does this by listening to all members of the community, putting her ego aside, and then reaching consensus on any issue she is confronted with.

Amy is very focused on bringing jobs to Turlock and was responsible for creating the Turlock Partnership Incentive Program. The program awards grants to help start new businesses in Turlock. Since its inception, TPIA has helped 45 businesses open in Turlock creating 95 new jobs.

Please join me in supporting Amy Bublak for Turlock City Council District 4 by casting your vote for her on Nov. 8.
