Ventura Councilman Endorses Das Williams for Assembly
Assembly candidate Das Williams announced Wednesday that Ventura Councilman Carl Morehouse has endorsed his campaign for the 35th District seat.
“Ventura needs an Assemblymember who understands local government concerns and local issues,” Morehouse said. “I have known Das for some time and know that he knows what it’s like to be a local elected official from serving on the Santa Barbara City Council.
“Das is energetic and passionate about the issues he pursues. As a result of my endorsement, I will be holding him accountable to maintain strong working relationships with all of the cities in this district and being responsive to our concerns. With that commitment, I am proud to support Das Williams for the state Assembly, and am confident he will be an outstanding champion for Ventura in Sacramento.”
Williams said, “Councilmember Morehouse has been a community leader in Ventura for years, and I am honored by his support of my campaign. Carl shares my principles and passion for promoting sustainable development, smart growth and land use policies, affordable housing, transparency in government, and fair and balanced budgets.
“Californians are continuing to suffer from Sacramento’s bad decisions, and I look forward to joining the state Assembly and continuing my work with Carl and other Ventura County leaders to advocate for what’s right for this district and state.”
Williams is running to succeed fellow Democrat and termed-out Assemblyman Pedro Nava.
— Christopher Patterson represents the Das Williams campaign for Assembly District 35.

Das is really scrapin’ for endorsements and apparently quickly running to Noozhawk with anything he can get. Don’t you still have a job to do on the Council Das? That’s what we’re paying you for.
“Das is energetic and passionate about the issues he pursues.” Yeah we know. Too bad the ones he pursues are not the ones the constituents want him to pursue, just the ones the unions want him to pursue - robbing the treasury for them. Sure, go help bankrupt California with the rest of your “progressive” labor candidates Das. But wait until you’ve finished your term here ok?

There’s an obvious difference between someone who serves on the Council because of their love for the City, and one who uses it as a stepping stone to advance their political career. I wonder which category Das fits into?
