15-year veteran Republican Member of Congress George Radanovich has announced that he is retiring from office at the end of his term. Radanovich represents a safe GOP House seat in the Central Valley. His wife Ethie is apparently very ill and Radanovich will be leaving Congress to spend more time with his wife, and family.
Radanovich has already endorsed State Senator Jeff Denham to replace him and had this to say:
“In looking for the most qualified person to replace me in Congress, one name kept coming up whenever we discussed the subject. Now, more than ever, we need to have a representative who understands our Central Valley’s agriculture and water needs. We need someone with a proven track record as a fiscal conservative willing to stand up to the tax and spend crowd. We need someone who will present new ideas and workable solutions to the problems our district and nation face…”
“I am pleased to say that I reached out to State Senator Jeff Denham and asked him to consider running for my seat. Jeff and I share over 100,000 constituents and I have witnessed firsthand the work he has done for our special part of California. After consulting with his family, he agreed to be our Republican candidate for the 19th congressional district…”
“Given his already proven record as a candidate and elected official, I will do everything in my power to help him win in June and November of next year. I will urge all of my supporters to join his already growing list of endorsers…”
Looks like Denham won’t have to run for Assembly after all.
