“I am honored to receive the support of so many people, businesses and organizations in the 37th Assembly District,” said Gorell. “The focus of my campaign has been to build a strong base of local support and I’m very pleased with the progress we have made toward achieving this goal-especially during these tough economic times.”

“In addition to our local fundraising success, community organizations throughout the 37th District are joining my campaign. The Ventura County Prosecutors Association, Santa Paula Police Officers Association and the Ventura County Republican Party have all recently endorsed my candidacy,” declared Gorell.
