Today, Marta Jorgensen candidate for Congress (24th CA), announced her endorsement of Das Williams for California State Assembly District 35.

Marta Jorgensen stunned long time political activists in the 2008 Democratic Primary when she defeated politically established candidates. She lost the general election to long time Republican incumbent Elton Gallegly.

"I heartily endorse Das for State Assembly for our 35th Assembly District,’ said Jorgensen. “His work on Measure C has been a real inspiration. I feel he will give his all to the job. We need to repair the broken government in Sacramento and I believe Das will work toward that goal."

Jorgensen, who has known Williams for some time, was impressed with his leadership in Ventura County on development issues. Measure C is a City of Ventura ballot measure banning retail stores, with floor space over 90,000 square feet, to sell groceries. The intent of the measure is to prevent big-box sprawl.

Williams is seeking the 35th Assembly seat being vacated by Pedro Nava due to term limits. The assembly candidate was elected to the Santa Barbara City Council in November 2003, then re-elected November in 2007. The 35th Assembly District is solidly Democratic making the real race the 2010 Primary.
