California: Doug Ose

Charlie Brown's 4th Congressional District campaign released a lengthy list of endorsements Thursday from elected officials - Democrats, Republicans and some registered as decline-to-state - across the northeastern California district.

The list included the mayors of Oroville and Grass Valley and supervisors from Butte, El Dorado, Lassen, Plumas, Sacramento and Sierra counties.

State Sen. Tom McClintock will tout support from primary rival and former U.S. Rep. Doug Ose in a campaign piece hitting mailboxes in California's 4th Congressional District this weekend,

In a press release, McClintock (R-Thousand Oaks) noted how Ose, a Republican from Sacramento, called to endorse him as soon as McClintock defeated Ose and two other GOP candidates in the June 3 primary.

Congressional candidate Charlie Brown leveled new criticism at opponent state Sen. Tom McClintock Wednesday, saying the Thousand Oaks Republican was running for the 4th Congressional District seat against Brown while also raising campaign cash for 2010 races in other seats.

Brown, a Roseville Democrat, pointed to a filing McClintock made Monday with the California Secretary of State's office for an account titled, "McClintock Committee 2010."

John Doolittle, the retiring congressman who is under investigation for his ties to jailed lobbyist Jack Abramoff, appears likely to campaign for state Sen. Tom McClintock, the Republican nominee for Doolittle’s Roseville-area seat.

“We’re talking about doing a couple of events and we’re putting them together,” said Doolittle spokesman Dan Blankeburg. Blankeburg declined to provide any further details, adding that the two sides had only talked in what he called “conceptual terms.”
