The voters and citizens of Eastern Madera County and California deserve fair, honest, and open elections. During the recent 2022 Fifth District supervisor election candidate Mark Reed used the Madera County logo and printed supervisor business cards to falsely identify himself with the office of supervisor to influence voters illegally. Mark Reed's actions may violate State of California Elections Code - Section 18304 and California Government Code Sec. 34501.5.

We the undersigned want federal, state, and county agencies to investigate and prosecute Mark Reed for his crimes against the people of Madera County and California. His behavior also corrupted the election on different levels.
