The Benoit for Senate campaign continues to build and attract significant local support and is proud to announce the endorsement of Shawn and Michelle Steel.  Shawn is a former California Republican Party Chairman and Michelle was elected to the State Board of Equalization in 2006.

"John Benoit is the kind of leader we need to stay in the legislature," said former CRP Party Chair Shawn Steel.  "We can trust John to uphold our values and fight for the issues which are important to Conservatives across California."

"John Benoit is a leader in Riverside and in California," said BOE Member
Michelle Steel. "John Benoit's record fighting on behalf of taxpayers and working to cut the waste out of government will serve the residents of the 37th District well."

"It is an honor to receive the endorsements of Michelle and Shawn Steel.  Few couples in California have done so much to advance conservative values in our Republican Party," replied Assemblyman Benoit.

The Steels join a growing list of Benoit for Senate supporters in Riverside County and throughout the state that also includes: Supervisors John Tavaglione and Roy Wilson, 70% of the City Council members, including the entire City Councils of Indian Wells, Palm Desert, La Quinta, Rancho Mirage,  4 of 5 City of Perris Councilmembers, 3 of 5 City of San Jacinto Councilmembers,  all Republicans on the Palm Springs City Council, numerous Republican legislators; and many public safety professionals and school and water board members from throughout the 37th Senate District.
