Over the past few weeks local newspapers have been buzzing about the election that will take place June 8 in Ventura County’s second supervisory district. Linda Parks, a T.O. resident who has an extensive resume of local government service and civic activism, has to wage an attack from political-carpetbagger Assemblymember Audra Strickland.

Mrs. Strickland is termed-out and is so hungry for that government check and taxpayer-funded healthcare she apparently is willing to move from her hometown of Moorpark to Thousand Oaks just to run for office.

Strickland must not think people can’t see that this is only a greed-filled move.

This is an example of a political carpetbagger: people who don’t work for the benefit of people; instead they look for any way to undermine an opponent.

The distasteful actions of Mrs. Strickland, her office and the chair of the Ventura County Central Committee with its politically charged telephone survey first denied by Strickland’s office—district director Rondi Guthrie having nothing to do with it, then acknowledging that Strickland and the county GOP was behind it, ultimately lying to the voters.

If you’re like me, you want an intelligent and independent person in local government, who works for the benefit of the people as a whole, not themselves, regardless of party.

Support Supervisor Linda Parks. She’s working for Thousand Oaks and Ventura County with you in mind.
