I am supporting Tom Pasma for 40th legislative district representative in the primary election. I have known Tom for 15 years, and he has earned my trust and respect.

He has been a strong supporter of all the people of San Juan County, but especially for youth programs.

He has helped to raise thousands of dollars for youth. He is a fixture at our county fair auction every year. Tom Pasma demonstrated the importance of community action and neighbors helping neighbors.

Tom is an experienced candidate who shares my values, such as creating good jobs, protecting the environment and increasing clean energy, supporting youth and investing in education.

Tom has years of volunteer service in the 40th district and has proven himself to be a person that works well across the board. But more important to me, he is the one candidate who really knows the issues and the people of San Juan County.
