My name is Tom Darms. My wife Linda and I fully support Helen Owen for District 1 supervisor.

Helen is not nor has she ever been a bureaucrat. She will look at the way government operates with caution and not assume the position of government as usual. Helen is not afraid to rattle cages, especially when it is apparent to her that a decision will negatively impact the people of her district and the county.

Helen is fair minded, a problem solver, has common sense and she is a hard worker. When issues arise, she will research and she will always have the best interest of the people she represents first.

I have heard it said that she does not have experience working in government. This is a true fact. In my mind, this is refreshing as she is one of us who is willing to step up and stand up for the people.

Please join us and cast your vote for the candidate whose goal is to listen to the people of District 1 and to do her best to represent from a place of honor and integrity.

Tom Darms lives in Middletown, California.
