California Attorney General Lockyer Endorses Dean

SAN JOSE--California Attorney General Bill Lockyer today endorsed Governor Howard Dean, M.D.

"Howard Dean offers the best assurance that Democrats can rescue America from George W. Bush, and move our country forward on the issues Americans trust Democrats to do best: job creation, education, the environment, workers' rights and health care," Lockyer said.

"Most important to me, Howard Dean tells the truth, and George Bush isn't leveling with the American people. I'm pleased to join the Dean campaign to take the White House back from an administration that kowtows to big business and ignores the hopes, dreams and needs of America's working families," Attorney General Lockyer added.

Bill Lockyer was first elected as Attorney General in 1998 and was re-elected in 2002. As California's highest-ranking law enforcement officer, Attorney General Lockyer has shifted the state's Department of Justice from purely prosecution to include a focus on homeland security intelligence and crime prevention, keeping California safer and stopping crime before it occurs. In addition, Lockyer has gone after businesses such as predatory lenders, deceptive credit card lenders, and living trust mills that seek to take advantage of California consumers.

He is the second statewide official in California to endorse Dean and joins nine members of Congress representing California who have endorsed as well.

As you slog though the snows of Iowa and New Hampshire, remember that presidential campaigns--especially primaries--are full of ups and downs. Stick to it in the face of media slings and arrows.

I'm thrilled to support Howard Dean for president. He is the candidate who has been standing up for all the core principles of our party so I wanted to stand with him. Good luck monday in Iowa and for the rest of the campaign. I'll do whatever I can do when you all get out here to California. Howard fights for us.

8. VERY sickening

it wasn't just that he had a problem with davis . i would have had less a problem with him if he said he wanted a recall but wanted bustamante elected. but he specifically was for arnold. i'm disgusted by him.
