ROSEVILLE, CA - - United States Representative Tom McClintock today endorsed Assemblyman Ted Gaines in the First Senate District Special Election.

"Ted Gaines is the conservative in the race and the one candidate who voters can trust to never raise their taxes," said McClintock. "He understands that over-spending and an inability to say no to special interests is the root cause of the state's yearly budget woes and that cutting bad deals and compromising on principles only makes the problem worse."

The Governor called a Special Election for January 4, 2011 to fill the remainder of Senator Cox's term. The primary to determine which candidates appear on the January 4th ballot will be held November 2. The top vote-getters from each major party will move on to the January ballot.

"I am honored to receive Representative Tom McClintock's endorsement. Tom is a nationally respected conservative leader and very popular with voters in our Senate District. I look forward to working with him to protect and represent the taxpayers of our area and state," said Gaines.

Ted Gaines is a small business owner and former Placer County Supervisor. The First Senate district is comprised of twelve counties, stretching from the Oregon border in the north through Mono County in the south. Approximately 34 percent of likely voters reside in the 4th Assembly district, represented by Ted Gaines. The legislator who represents the second most voters is Democrat Alyson Huber, with 21% of First Senate District voters residing in her Assembly district.
