Barker best choice

musicWave

Editor,

I am writing to express my ardent support for Melanie Barker for Madera County District 5 Supervisor.

As a longtime member of this community, I’ve seen many people step into leadership roles, but few with the consistency and commitment that Melanie brings.

She has been actively involved in local organizations for decades, including the Oakhurst Chamber of Commerce and MY Club, often the unsung hero behind the scenes donating her time and money. Always focused on strengthening our community, Melanie is especially committed to our youth and local businesses.

What sets Melanie apart is her ability to listen and then take thoughtful, practical and effective action. She understands that District 5 is diverse — from the valley to the foothills and mountains — and that each area has different needs. Melanie is committed to working and advocating for the needs of all her constituents.

I am confident Melanie is the best qualified candidate and will bring informed, steadfast and responsible leadership to the role of District 5 supervisor.

Sincerely,
Carrie Jenkins
Ahwahnee
