Thompson Leads Among CA's GOP Legislators

Posted by: Drew Mercy | 06/11/2007 1:30 PM

In one go-around, former Senator Fred Thompson earned more endorsements from California's Republican legislators than any other presidential candidate.

In a letter circulated by Senator George Runner and Assemblyman Martin Garrick, nine legislators pledged their support to Thompson and urged him to enter the campaign.

Among legislators, Mitt Romney has eight endorsements, both Rudy Giuliani and John McCain have four each and Duncan Hunter has two.  Nineteen are as yet uncommitted.

Many of the signers happen to represent the Inland Empire.  They are Senator Jim Battin, Assemblyman John Benoit, Assemblyman Bill Emmerson and Assemblyman Kevin Jeffries.  Other signers are Senator Sam Aanestad, Assemblyman Chuck DeVore and Assemblyman Rick Keene.

Here is a copy of the letter.

anything for a fellow Haynes alum.

Romney - Ackerman, Wyland, Adams, Dutton, La Malfa, Margett, Silva, Strickland

Giuliani - Sharon Runner, Gaines, Smyth, Aghazarian

McCain - Denham, Plescia, Garcia, Tran

Not sure on who the two Hunter endorsements are. I would guess they're fellow San Diegans.
