I have known Ryan Taylor since high school, we played water polo and swim together and he was the team captain back in the day. Even back then, Ryan Taylor was showing early signs of leadership.

Ryan Taylor was in the class of 2021 and when Turlock Unified School District attempted to force the water polo team to wear masks in the pool. Ryan Taylor was the reason why many of the boys and girls on the water polo team went to a school board meetings and made their voices heard.

It took a couple attempts but eventually the school allowed us to play water polo without having to wear a mask in the pool.

I know Ryan Taylor would stand up Turlock District Three like he did for the water polo team. This is why I am voting Ryan Taylor for Turlock City Council in November.
