Stricklands play it both ways in the 68th Assembly District
What a strange development. The Jim Righeimer campaign for the 68th Assembly District announced today that Tony Strickland, himself a former Assemblyman, has endorsed Righeimer. However, Tony’s wife, Audra, endorsed Righeimer’s opponenent, Janet Nguyen, just last week. What gives? Their opposing endorsemsents serve only to undermine each other.
Righeimer also announced that former State Senator John Lewis has endorsed him. Others who have endorsed him recently include: Congressmen Darrell Issa and Dana Rohrabacher, State Senators Dennis Hollingsworth and Bill Morrow, and State Assembly Members Chuck DeVore, Mimi Walters, Ray Haynes, Dennis Mountjoy, and Mike Villines.
Strickland and Maddox both endorsed Janet as well.
Anonymous,
Thanks for the update. Dual endorsements are self-defeating, but I suppose they make the endorsers feel important…of course this race is a tough one as both candidates are legitimately conservative and worthwhile.
