Friends and Neighbors,

I am proud to offer my strong support for Naomi Riess as our next Representative for House District 59.

I have known and worked with Naomi since the late 1990s. As the owner of Pinnacle Surveying Inc., I have worked with her on many development and land-use projects over the years. In addition, I currently serve as Mayor of the Town of Bayfield and have been actively involved in local government and community leadership for more than a decade. That experience gives me a clear view of what effective leadership looks like—and Naomi consistently delivers it.

Naomi knows how to get things done. When her project lands on your desk, you quickly learn it needs to be handled first. She is persistent, prepared, and relentless in the best possible way. She understands land-use requirements inside and out and knows how to navigate the system to move projects forward responsibly and efficiently. That skill is rare—and badly needed at the state level.

Beyond her technical knowledge, Naomi is a strong leader. She speaks up for what is right, understands what works, and is not afraid to address what needs to be fixed. She comes to the table well prepared, asks the right questions, and follows through.

House District 59 needs a representative who understands our communities, respects local decision-making, and can cut through red tape to deliver real results. Naomi Riess is exactly that leader, and I wholeheartedly endorse her.

Sincerely,

Tom Au
Owner, Pinnacle Surveying Inc.
Mayor, Town of Bayfield
