Dear Editor,

John Kanno has been a friend and acquaintance of mine for several years. I was pleased to learn of his interest in serving the City of Oakdale as a member of the City Council.

John is a solid family man, well educated, energetic, with a strong desire to serve the public. John does his homework and is well informed. His decision making process includes the research necessary to make informed choices.

John’s concerns for the City of Oakdale are in the areas of economic development, public safety, and fiscal responsibility.

John is well connected to county government and has the ability to provide responsible leadership for the City of Oakdale.

I endorse him without reservation.

Sincerely,

James M. Vermeulen
