Mike Noordewier: Denham cared about saving our company and really helped

When the recession hit in 2008, our sign company was hit hard. My business partner and I had 60 employees and their families and we didn’t know what to do. Our biggest priority was to keep the company moving without losing some of the greatest people in the world. Nobody cared, except Jeff Denham.

I am only allowed 200 words, which doesn’t even scratch the surface of the good works this man did for those families and for this company. Jeff is the only guy who bridges the gap between Democrats and Republicans. He is the only politician I would support and for us to ignore all his good works because this election has become so partisan is a shame.

Jeff is the solution we need to get government working for the people. Jeff can balance the needs of farmers and workers so that we are all pulling in the same direction. I will vote for Jeff as I believe our 60 employees will as well. It is the least we can do for a man who has done so much for my friends and family. If you want a job, if you want to keep your job, if you want the Valley to be great, please vote for Jeff Denham.

Mike Noordewier, Modesto
