Corona City Council Unanimously
Supports Russ Bogh for State Senate

January 19, 2010

All five members of the Corona City Council - Mayor Karen Spiegel, Mayor Pro Tem Stan Skipworth, Councilman Eugene Montanez, Councilman Steve Nolan, and Councilman Jason Scott - have endorsed Russ Bogh in the race represent the people of California's vacant 37th Senate District.

"We overwhelmingly agree Russ Bogh is the clear choice to represent Riverside County in the State Senate," said Corona Mayor Karen Spiegel. "Russ Bogh is a rock-solid conservative with an unwavering record of fighting taxes and cutting government waste. As a local businessman Russ knows what it takes to create jobs and work within a budget. We trust him to get Sacramento back on track."

In addition to their duties on the Corona City Council, Karen Spiegel, Eugene Montanez, and Steve Nolan are small business owners; Stan Skipworth is the Police Chief for Cal State Long Beach; Jason Scott is an educator in the Corona-Norco school district.

"I am very grateful for the support of each member of the Corona City Council," said conservative businessman Russ Bogh. "On the City Council and in their professional lives, each of these individuals has seen firsthand how California's floundering economy and the lack of leadership in Sacramento is impacting real people and costing Californians jobs. I am deeply honored to have their support in this fight to get our state back on the right track."

Russ Bogh 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.

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

Corona City Councilmembers Spiegel, Skipworth, Montanez, Nolan and Scott join past Riverside CRA president Linda Soubirous, Desert Hot Springs Mayor Yvonne Parks, former Riverside County Sheriff Larry Smith, Palm Springs Councilman Chris Mills and many other Riverside County leaders in supporting conservative Republican Russ Bogh for the State Senate.
