LaMalfa Endorsed By All Five Shasta County Supervisors, Sheriff and District Attorney and Auditor Controller

Northstate Republican Doug LaMalfa continues to garner the vast majority of district endorsements, with his announcement today that all five Shasta County Supervisors, along with the Shasta County D.A., Sheriff and Auditor Controller, are supporting his candidacy.

"I'm happy to support Doug LaMalfa because he's been an effective representative for us in the Northstate. He was constantly attending our local events, hearing directly from the people," said Supervisor Hartman. "Personally, I know we can always count on Doug to check in with those of us at the local level to get our opinions on the latest issues affecting our state.  He's been there for us and that's why I'm supporting him."

Sheriff Tom Bosenko, Former Sheriff Jim Pope, District Attorney Jerry Benito, Auditor Controller Connie Regnell, and County Supervisors Glenn Hawes, Linda Hartman, David Kehoe, Leonard Moty, and Les Baugh have all endorsed LaMalfa for Senate.

"It's been a pleasure to work with Doug over the past several years and I look forward to seeing him in the State Senate," said Auditor Controller Connie Regnell. "When our local special districts were facing an expensive and cumbersome audit process, Doug came through by working with my fellow county auditors, our special districts and me to change the law to reduce the cost burden while maintaining accountability."

"Doug LaMalfa understands that government's first responsibility is to protect its law-abiding citizens and he has proven to be an effective voice for public safety," said Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko. "That is why so many leaders in law enforcement strongly support Doug for the State Senate."

The 4th Senate District spans much of rural northern California. LaMalfa represented much of the district when he served in the Assembly and is well known throughout the area. Doug LaMalfa is a fourth generation rice farmer and business owner who represented the 2nd Assembly District from 2002 through 2008.
