Dear Editor,

I am Wayne 1 Precinct committeeman and am running for re-election. I am asking for your vote in the June 2 primary election. The following are some of my qualifications, which I believe are very important in your decision-making process.

My husband Terry Howie and I have lived in Winona Lake since 1969 where I came to complete my college degree at Grace College. I have been a lifelong Republican, and advocate strong conservative principles.

I have worked the election polls since the late 1980s, becoming familiar with the intricacies of the electoral system and the changes over the years. I was a precinct committeeman in another precinct for 12 years, when they could find no one willing to take the position, and have been the precinct committeeman for Wayne 1 for about 10 years.

I have helped secure poll workers for many precincts throughout Kosciusko County and have worked actively with the Election Board as well as the clerk’s office. I was an officer for the Kosciusko Republican Central Committee, and have continued to be strongly involved with the Republican Party both locally and at the state level. I have also been a State Delegate at several state conventions.

For this election alone, I have facilitated 48 people’s absentee ballots requests and have registered 19 people to vote, which is part of the job of a precinct committeeman.

Based on the above qualifications, and my strong desire to continue to serve the people of Winona Lake, I ask that you vote for me in the upcoming election, whether by absentee, in-person early voting or directly on Election Day.

Thank you in advance for your vote

Lynn S. Howie
Winona Lake
