Editor,

This November, Gil Esquer is running for Turlock City Council – District 2.  He has lived and worked in the greater Turlock area his entire life.  As the eldest of six, he has led by example and consistently offered a foundation of learning to others.  Turlock is made up of a diverse population and the ideas, needs and desires for our city should be listened to with compassion and realistic value.  Discussions on our schools, safety of neighborhoods and roads are a priority that he will seek to resolve. Gil is a man of ethical and moral values that can impact our community in a positive way.  Gil, my brother, is an excellent choice for Turlock City Council – District 2.  On Nov. 8, join me in “Gil4Turlock!”
