Fellow 20th Congressional District candidate David Giglio announced Friday he is suspending his campaign for Congress and endorsing Sheriff Mike Boudreaux for the seat.
Giglio, a Central Valley business owner, issued the following statement:
“After careful prayer and deliberation, I have decided to suspend my campaign for Congress in California’s 20th Congressional District and urge my supporters to join me in backing Sheriff Mike Boudreaux. Despite initially expressing some concerns regarding Sheriff Boudreaux’s motives for entering this race, I can now say with complete certainty that he is a good man and is in this race for the right reasons. Mike and I have had the chance to form a friendship over the last few weeks, and I know he both understands and shares my passion for change. Sheriff Boudreaux represents our best chance at stopping the radical Left and disrupting the status quo.”
Sheriff Boudreaux issued the following statement:
“David Giglio has been a dogged advocate for the San Joaquin Valley and America during his candidacy for Congress. Since entering the race, I have had the opportunity to get to know him in between candidate forums and other events. He is a terrific family man who will be an exceptional addition to the next generation of emerging Valley leaders. I welcome all of David’s loyal supporters to Team Boudreaux and look forward to working together to deliver a stronger, safer Valley that puts America first.”

Sheriff Mike Boudreaux is the 30th Sheriff of Tulare County, President of the California State Sheriffs’ Association who has spent his entire 37-year career in law enforcement, with the last decade as the elected Sheriff. He is running for the 20th Congressional District.
Hella of a way to finally get Boudreaux out of our daily lives. He supports laws that he agrees with and refuses to support laws that he doesn’t. He is in the deep pockets of the NRA and the extremist Republican Party. If he is like McCarthy and Nunes he will only be seen around here at private fundraisers seeking money money money from all who hungers to kiss his …… hand. lol
I’d much prefer any Republican to the stench you scum are offering!
That stench is coming from your upper lip! lol
Trump endorsed Vince Fong so you have to do what he says to be a good republican!
When Clovis sends their baseball card shop owners, they’re nor sending their best…
