On Friday, October 28, Governor Jerry Brown announced he is endorsing Anthony Portantino for State Senate!
“Anthony Portantino has been a champion for public education and fiscal responsibility — both in his community and in the State Legislature,” said Governor Brown. “I endorse him for State Senate.”
“I’m proud to have Governor Brown’s endorsement and look forward to working as his partner in our efforts to strengthen public and higher education for students, to demand fiscal transparency and accountability for taxpayers and to continue our climate leadership for future generations,” said Portantino, the educator and former Mayor and Member of the State Assembly.
“This endorsement underscores years of hard work and a record of proven public service for this community and provides a lot of momentum for our campaign heading into the final two weeks of this election,” Portantino continued.
