SANTA FE SPRINGS, Calif., May 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The campaign to re-elect Sheriff Alex Villanueva continues to rack up local endorsements, releasing additional names today including U.S. Congresswoman Michelle Steel, the Chicano Latino Immigrant Democratic Club of Los Angeles, current and former mayors, local council members and community leaders.
Sheriff Villanueva continues to lead his opponents when it comes to campaign fundraising, as well as endorsements.
"The elected officials that have to deal with the rise of violent crime and out-of-control homelessness understand that we are at a crossroads. It is time to refund community patrols and detective work to get violent criminals off the streets," said Sheriff Villanueva.
