Anthony Portantino for State Senate announced today the endorsement from the Helen Doherty Democratic and the West End Democratic Clubs. The addition of these two clubs to #TeamPortantino brings Anthony’s total of Democratic club endorsements to seven.
Clubs endorsing Anthony are the Bonita Democratic Council, the Claremont Democratic Club, The Crescenta Canada Democratic Club, the Democratic Club of the Pasadena Foothills, the Foothill Community Democrats of Monrovia, the Helen Doherty Democratic Club and the West End Democratic Club.
“Anthony is by far our best candidate to keep the 25th Senate District blue. He’s local, hard-working, extremely popular and well known across this sprawling district.” commented Judy Jacobs, President of the Helen Doherty Democratic Club. “We need to put our strongest candidate forward and that is clearly Anthony Portantino,” added Jacobs, who also chairs the California Democratic Party Children’s Caucus. *Title for ID purpose only. No implied Party Endorsement.
The Helen Doherty Democratic Club was named in honor of long-time and revered Democratic Party Activist Helen Doherty. It draws its membership from the eastern Los Angeles County communities in the 25th Senate District. The West End Democratic Club covers West San Bernardino part of the 25th. The addition of these two clubs cements Portantino’s overwhelming lead in local clubs and activists from the 43rd AD, 41st AD and the 48th AD.
“I am very honored to receive the endorsement of so many terrific grassroots activists in the 25th Senate District. Helen Doherty was a legend in the Party and throughout the foothills of the San Gabriel Valley. Earning the respect and support from the club that bares her name and the committed activists from West End is a wonderful honor,” concluded Portantino.
