Another letter of support

October 18, 2009

Editor Lynden Tribune,
I've voted in a lot of elections over the course of my 90 plus years, and this year I hope to exercise this right again. On this ballot I will vote Bob Johnson for city council. No, he isn't a life-time resident of Lynden, but since when has that solely made one a good councilor? I'm much more interested in the candidate's views and ideas for our fine city. Bob Johnson has been straight-forward right from the beginning of this campaign this summer. He has not been afraid to let the citizens of Lynden know his views. Not only that, his experience and his voting record in a previously elected office indicate to me clearly what kind of councilor Lynden would get. He has worked hard since the summer to introduce himself to his city and is to be commended for that, also. Since getting to know Bob, I have learned he is a hard-working stewardly man who is certain to be a breath of fresh air for Lynden city council. Join me in voting for Bob Johnson.

Dear Editor
I have known Bob Johnson and his wife Debbie for several years. Bob is personable, principled, and prudent. I am confident that Bob will scrutinize every spending decision from the perspective of his taxpaying neighbors. Bob has experience (both in business and in government) in successfully negotiating the best deals possible.Please join me in voting for Bob Johnson for Lynden City Council.
