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.

Please join me in supporting Helen Owen in her candidacy for Lake County supervisor in District 1.
Being a multi-generational lifetime resident of southern Lake County, Helen embraces the stunning beauty, natural resources and the unique challenges of our special community. She appreciates and promotes the precious rural lifestyle that is the pinnacle of our county. Helen is a community leader and team builder. She is not a politician.
Helen knows and practices the critical role of community involvement and decision making. She thrives as a generous and hard-working volunteer in our community; many times I have observed Helen’s hands-on, hard-working participation.
Helen has been and will continue to learn and research issues at the ground level. She will be a true representative of the people and will collect community input at the ground level. Her experience as a business owner, rural property owner, and long- time community organizer is a natural fit for the position of county supervisor.
My family has operated a ranch/farm in south Lake County since the 1880s. In fact, my great-grandfather, John Martin Adamson, was the Lake County District 2 supervisor (at that time, the Lower Lake population center) for 28 years completing his service in the 1920s. Obviously, my family has a stake in a thriving south county community.
I have done my homework and, without reservation, endorse Helen Owen for supervisor for District 1.

I am a 20 year resident of Twin Lakes Subdivision in Lower Lake, and I am a director on the Lower Lake Waterworks District 1 Board.
I have found Helen Owen to be very interested in our problems with the illegal grows in our community, bringing a blight to our once safe neighborhoods, along with their roaming grow dogs killing our livestock and the constant barrage of automatic gun fire.
Helen has attended Lower Lake Water Board meetings when the topic of wasteful use of water has come up.
Helen has attended Lower Lake Community Action meetings to help us solve issues and address the needs of our community.
I fully support and endorse Helen Owen for District 1 supervisor. I feel if elected, she will be a breath of fresh air to the usual, "do nothing typical politician." She actually responds to phone calls and emails.

She is a good woman and a fantastic community member. Helen, coming from a family with deep generational roots in Lake County, knows our communities. Helen is a lifetime Middletown resident and local business owner. Helen is well known and respected in the South County area.
The Owen family hosts youth rodeo events on their ranch and Helen volunteers her time in numerous ways supporting our communities’ county wide.
One of the ways that she supports our county is that during emergency situations she helps to evacuate, transport and board animals at her ranch.
One of my favorite things about Mrs. Owen is what she does for the Middletown High School Football Program. She established over 20 years ago the presentation of the United States and California Flags on horseback by our equestrian youth at our annual Homecoming Football game. Year after year ever since she has organized and choreographed this highly anticipated tradition that is patriotic and well attended.
I have no doubt in my mind that if elected, Helen Owen will represent District 1 well and absolutely listen to the people.
I am proud to call Helen Owen my friend and I strongly endorse her for District 1 supervisor.
