Dale Parkinson: Look at the signs, Esquer best for city council

As someone who has lived my whole life on Turlock’s West Side, it is clear to me that Gil Esquer is the person to vote for on Nov. 8. You can see his yard signs all over, showing that his neighbors think he is the best person running. Now the Turlock Firefighters signs are up showing they’re backing him, too. When I visited Gil’s Facebook page, it was surprising to see how much he has been doing to win our ​votes. Gil has support from all sorts of people and groups because he will make sure the ​city council won’t overlook the ​West Side anymore​.​ When I get my mail-in ballot, I will fill it out and mail it in that day – Gil Esquer for city council District 2.

Dale Parkinson, Turlock
