Reggie Jones-Sawyer brings a unique blend of business, labor and civil rights background and experience. More than ever, the Legislature needs people of his skill and ability to get things done and turn our state around.
LOS ANGELES, CA—Continuing to grow his list of key endorsements, today Secretary of the California Democratic Party, Reginald (Reggie) Jones-Sawyer won a major endorsement from former Congresswomen Diane Watson.
“Californian’s deserve representatives who are 100% committed to getting this economy moving again,” said former Congresswoman Diane Watson. “And that’s why I’m proudly supporting Reggie Jones-Sawyer for the 59th Assembly District, because I trust that he’ll work hard in Sacramento to craft pro-jobs and economic development legislation that produces tangible results that will help grow our economy.”
“I’ve always admired Congresswoman Watson’s deep commitment to helping her constituents,” said Jones-Sawyer. “She’s served as a role model for me, and I am absolutely honored to have her support in my Assembly campaign.”
