 Statement of TOM KRUSE, Candidate for 
Member, Board of Supervisors, District 1
Occupation:  Winery Owner/Winegrower               	Age:  70 
Education and Qualifications: 
     My wife Karen and I operate the Thomas Kruse Winery which I founded in 1971.  We have seen tremendous change in the last 40 years.  The lessons I've learned have been invaluable.  I believe in thrift and hard work.  We live very frugally on what we think are the nicest twenty acres in the County of Santa Clara.  We consider ourselves very fortunate.  
     I served two years on the very first General Plan for Gilroy, four years on the County of Santa Clara Planning Commission - elected chairman my third year and served on numerous other committees such as the County of Santa Clara Agricultural Conservation Easement Committee.  I always fight hard for my principles but I work in the spirit of cooperation.  
     I am commited to doing the best job I can, especially for anyone experiencing difficulties with county government.  If you vote for me I will always be accessible.  If you don't vote for me I will still be your supervisor and I will help you too.  I will accept no special interest money.  
     This election belongs to the people of District One.  I look forward to working for you and being your supervisor.  Phone me at 408-842-7458.  Read more about me at electtomkrusesupervisor.com
