As a community supporter, Jim is presently serving in his eighth term on the Middletown School Board, Middletown Plan Committee, a board member of the Middletown Merchants’ Association and a founding member of the Lake County Home, Farm and 4-H Foundation. He previously served on the Middletown Fire Protection District board and on the Hidden Valley Lake/Coyote Valley Area Planning Committee. He has a level of community involvement that is unparalleled.
Jim has a lifelong period of experience, knowledge and abilities in Lake County. As a rancher and businessman, strong family man, fiscally responsible, a veteran, a community supporter, Jim had been a leader in the improvement of the Middletown business district and for the school district. He dearly loves this area and will work hard to bring necessary and fiscally responsible growth and improvements.
I first met Jim over 17 years ago when I assumed command of the Coast Guard LORAN Station here. One of my priorities was to meet each of my immediate neighbors. Jim Comstock was one of these neighbors. I am honored to call Jim a friend.
Please join with me and support Jim Comstock with your vote on Nov. 4.

Proposition 5 is a virtual “get out of jail free” card for those accused of domestic violence, child abuse, home burglary, identity theft or killing someone while driving under the influence. Instead, they may avoid prosecution altogether by claiming “the drugs made me do it.”
Proposition 5 shortens parole from three years to just six months for drug dealers who sell or distribute up to $50,000 of meth. This creates a virtual “express lane” for drug dealers to get back on the streets. Proposition 5 should be more aptly named the “Drug Dealers Bill of Rights.”
Proposition 5 is so dangerous that numerous prominent Individuals and organizations have joined together against it including Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Attorney General Jerry Brown, former Governors Gray Davis, Pete Wilson, and George Deukmejian, as well as Mothers Against Drunk Driving and the entire law enforcement community.
Please do your part to stop this dangerous initiative by asking your family, friends and neighbors to vote NO on Proposition 5. We simply cannot afford the massive havoc this initiative will wreak on our families, schools and communities.
Your NO vote on Proposition 5 will help protect your neighborhoods from violent crime. Thank you for your help in this effort.
Jon E. Hopkins is district attorney of Lake County.
