Maria Avelar: Nascimento, a dad, is working to make community safer

I have known Steven Nascimento and his family for many years. Steven is compassionate, selfless and willing to help others in need. Turlock is truly blessed to have a councilmember like Steven who is so committed to our city and to the values of our community. As the only member of the city council who is raising children in our community, Steven understands the concerns of Turlock families and is working to create safer neighborhoods and safe routes to schools for our children.

As a mother, and a resident of Turlock, I am proud to support Steven Nascimento for Turlock City Council, District 4!

Maria Avelar, Turlock
