I’m writing to encourage Turlock voters in District 4 to re-elect Amy Bublak to Turlock’s City Council. In all the conversations I’ve had with Amy, one thing that is clear is her devotion to our community and its citizens. She has a vision for Turlock that preserves its uniqueness while working to increase its economic potential.

Ms. Bublak brings to the City Council role a long and unique history of dedicated community service. She was a police officer for 23 years, was a three-time Vice Mayor for Turlock, and has been a member of the Stanislaus Regional Water Authority, among many other key roles.

She is also a true leader in economic development, helping taxpayers save millions of dollars in Redevelopment Agency funds. These savings were used locally to pay for the reconstruction of the Carnegie Arts Center and for improvements to Columbia and Broadway parks and other community landmarks. Redevelopment Agency savings were also used for improvements to Westside utilities infrastructure, which attracted numerous new employers and jobs to Turlock.

Amy Bublak has played a vital role in the many good things that have recently come to Turlock. She still has so much to offer our fine city, so many more great things to help us achieve. District 4, please join me in voting for Amy in November.
