Equality California released the following statement from Executive Director Rick Zbur:
“Devin Nunes has spent 17 years serving political leaders in Washington instead of his constituents. The San Joaquin Valley deserves a representative in Washington, DC who will fight for our California values, not pick partisan fights. That’s why we are thrilled to endorse our strong pro-equality ally Phil Arballo, a champion for working families, great public schools and full, lived LGBTQ+ equality. “Voters in Senate District 28 have two great choices in Elizabeth Romero and Joy Silver. We’re confident that both of them would be exceptional advocates for the LGBTQ+ community and our allies in the California Senate. “We’re also thrilled to endorse Johnathon Ervin, Lisa Calderon, Sylvia Rubio and Diedre Thu-Ha Nguyen for the California Assembly. They are exactly the type of pro-equality champions that voters deserve fighting for them in Sacramento.”
