Palm Springs City Councilmember Chris Mills
Endorses Russ Bogh for State Senate

Mills calls Bogh the "clear choice" for the Desert and Riverside County

January 6, 2010

Palm Springs City Councilmember Chris Mills has announced his endorsement of Riverside County businessman and former State Assemblyman Russ Bogh.

"Republican Russ Bogh is the clear choice to represent the desert area, and all of Riverside County in the State Senate," said Palm Springs City Councilmember Chris Mills. "He has a proven record of fighting taxes and government waste. He knows what it takes to create jobs and work within a budget - because he's done it in his own business and in the State Legislature."

Praised by The Riverside Press-Enterprise for a "solid record of legislative accomplishments," conservative Republican businessman Russ Bogh has served Riverside County residents in the State Assembly from 2001-2006. During that time he was selected by fellow Republicans to serve as the Assembly Republican Caucus Chairman -- the second ranking Republican leader in the Assembly. Bogh was also the co-founder and former Chairman of the Inland Empire Caucus, a bi-partisan organization of Inland Empire legislators.

The special election primary for the 37th Senate District will be held Tuesday, April 13, 2010.
