State Senator Mark DeSaulnier continues to gain endorsements from key leaders in Contra Costa County in his bid for Congress. Over the weekend, he announced that Assemblywoman Susan Bonilla and Supervisor Federal Glover both support him for Congress.
The endorsement is huge for DeSaulnier as it ends any discussion that Bonilla will run for George Millers seat as she sent her support towards DeSaulnier. Bonilla was an important endorsement because her Assembly district (14th) overlaps with 35.9% of California’s 11th Congressional district.
“Mark DeSaulnier has been one of the most effective elected leaders to represent Contra Costa County in local and state government,” said Asm. Bonilla. “He’s deeply devoted to our local neighborhood issues, but he’s also proven himself to be a real visionary when it comes to tackling tough statewide issues. I know Mark will be a strong voice for us in Congress and I’m proud to endorse him.”
Meanwhile, Supervisor Federal Glover also endorsed DeSaulnier.
“Contra Costa County residents need and deserve to have Mark DeSaulnier as their representative in Congress,” said Supervisor Glover. “He’s got his finger on the pulse of our community, and I’m fully confident that he’ll continue Rep. Miller’s strong leadership of delivering results for our local neighborhoods. I’m thrilled to endorse Mark for Congress.”
The endorsements are the latest in a recent salvo of endorsements DeSaulnier has collected from highly influential elected leaders, including:
- former Rep. Ellen Tauscher
- Rep. Jared Huffman
- Rep. Alan Lowenthal
- California’s Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson
- State Senate Majority Leader Ellen Corbett
- State Senator Loni Hancock
- State Senator Lois Wolk
- State Assemblywoman Susan Bonilla
- Contra Costa County Supervisor Federal Glover
- Contra Costa County Supervisor John Gioia
Senator DeSaulnier continues to be the only candidate to officially announce that they are running for Congressman Millers soon-to-be vacant Congressional seat.

Why can’t these people shut up and let the voters decide? It is starting to look like John Kerry’s campaign. I don’t have a plan but look who endorsed me.
Is anyone surprised? A bunch of do nothing politicians endorsing another do nothing politician, so in turn (when it’s their turn) they will get the favor paid back. This political game of “musical chairs” being arranged by the same contra costa democrats has got to end. By keeping each other in, they keep the bar low-very low.
Ask yourself, if these lackluster people supporting Mark DeSaulinier, why would you?
We can do better.
I also endorse this excellent leader.

Now that’s funny!
Tired of the same old politician? Let’s try a new one and end this game of musical chairs!

With this economy and political direction we are facing in California looking at trains to nowhere and tunnels to take our water from the delta,anyone who votes for this guy is clueless. More over just the fact that the career politicians pat each other tells me they are more concerned about their own ass than ours. I’m in agreement with you Jason.
Thank you brother! We need more people that realize this crazy pattern like you guys and break the cycle! We need to spread the word and end this madness.
