Jill Wolfinbarger: OID needs DeBoer, a man of integrity with good people skills

I am not sure why anyone would want to run for an under appreciated and over criticized public office these days, but thankfully there are some citizens who seek to fulfill their civic calling.

Brad DeBoer is such a man running for Oakdale Irrigation District Division 5 board member. He is a man of integrity, honesty and is willing to give all his energy to bring OID the water resources this area needs today and will need far into the future. He is a man of high character, has a strong business and farming background and with excellent people skills – which is something OID directors have been lacking in the recent past.

OID residents, if you want someone to work tirelessly for you to help solve the many issues that need to be addressed in the coming years, please vote for Brad DeBoer OID Division 5 candidate. Our community will prosper with your vote. No, I am not related.

Jill Wolfinbarger, Oakdale
