Dear Editor,

I am writing on behalf of my friend Pat Paul who is running for Mayor of Oakdale. As a prior controller for General Foods, I am very familiar with budgets, priorities and the need for planning ahead. Pat is familiar with these business attributes, especially as they relate to government and its functions. Her prior Board of Supervisors experience is noteworthy and priceless.

I wish you could meet her in person. You could ask all the questions you want … and look into her eyes all the time, you would find a new friend.

If possible, invite her into your home with neighbors and friends and share a cup of coffee.

Oakdale needs a new leader. She needs you and your friends’ vote. We (Oakdale) need Pat Paul. I fully support her.

Sincerely,

Dale Sloan
