Oxnard Leaders Step Up to Support Assembly Candidate Das Williams
On the heels of his first debate with Susan Jordan, Assembly candidate Das Williams announced Monday that several Oxnard leaders have endorsed his campaign for the 35th District.
Those supporters include, Dr. Manny Lopez, former Oxnard mayor; Henry L. “Hank” Lacayo of the California Congress of Seniors; Oxnard Mayor Pro Tem Andres Herrera; Ana Del Rio-Barba, Oxnard School District Board Member; Jess Herrera, Oxnard labor commissioner; Jess Ramirez, Oxnard Harbor District board president; and Saul Medina of the Oxnard Planning Commission.
In announcing their support of his campaign, Oxnard leaders cited Williams’ record on local issues and his experience in balancing budgets and fighting for education, health care, public safety and the environment.
Leaders also lauded his background as a local community organizer for CAUSE and his efforts to enact living-wage laws for workers in the region.
“I am so honored to have earned the support of such outstanding local leaders,” Williams said. “I’ve always believed in and fought hard to advance the social and political causes the people in this district care about, and I am humbled by the recognition I have received throughout this campaign.”
Williams, a member of the Santa Barbara City Council, is running to succeed fellow Democrat and termed-out Assemblyman Pedro Nava in 2010.
— Christopher Patterson represents the Das Williams campaign for Assembly District 35.

What do Oxnard “social justice” leaders know about Santa Barbara issues and Das’ track record here? Obviously nothing. He has to go out of town for support? No surprise.
Public safety? Das? Haa haaa Balancing budgets? Hoo Haaa! Das a community organizer? Omg not another one!

These endorsements already have been announced. Das just repackages his lists and repeats hem, hoping no one notices.
We do. This came out because Susan Jordan will have a big fundraiser on Saturday, packed with all the movers and shakers from Oxnard.
What is next from Das? A new list of endorsements by left-handed people only?

Look at the huge victory tonight in Massachusetts. This will be replayed over and over this November. We, the American people (at least the ones who are still working and paying taxes) are sick of the ‘hope and change’ going on in Washington. And for the first time in 40 years, Californian’s are realizing that voting for the liberal candidates has caused this state to be bankrupt. Those of us in Santa Barbara should be demanding the Das pay back all of his salary…he does not represent us, he has used us as a stepping stone for his political future. Has Das EVER had a real job, not dependent upon the Government to pay his salary?

The truth is, if we send Das to the Sacramento, he will only continue the tax and spend ways that got us into this mess orginally.
If you elect me, I will change the status quo of Sacramento.
