My name is Denise McDowell. As a resident of Middletown since 1967, I believe Helen Owen embodies many qualities that would make an excellent supervisor.

These qualities include her honesty, integrity and willingness to address everyone’s concerns.

She has experience collaborating with others to achieve a common goal and finds innovative ways to solve challenges.

Supporting community events is her lifestyle. She is an independent and successful business woman who has strong family values and has taught hundreds of young people the responsibility and joy of horsemanship.

She has given many of these young people the confidence to take these skills outside the small, close-knit pond that is our town.

Our district would be fortunate to have Helen Owen represent the needs of our communities while supporting the preservation of our small-town values.

Denise McDowell lives in Middletown, California.
