This will mark the first time that we have decided to publicly and proudly endorse a candidate. Ramson and I are pleased to support Amy Bublak in the race for Turlock City Council in District 4. Amy is an exceptional individual who has tirelessly served her community in various settings for many years. She is fair, ethical, dedicated and a very hard worker.

We first met Amy as a fellow student at CSU Stanislaus where she served her campus community as Student Body Vice-president and then President. She has been a paramedic, police officer and Turlock City Council Member and Vice-Mayor. Amy has a natural tenacity to use her common sense and integrity to stand up for all of the people of our community. Over the past eight years as our Council member, she has helped create local jobs, balance the budget and keep us safe. Amy also advocates for our children as exemplified by her support for them at events ranging from ice-skating festivities at the local rink in the winter to the cultural diversity celebrations at the fairgrounds in the summer.

Please vote this Tuesday to re-elect Amy Bublak for Turlock City Council in District 4.
