Kern County Democrats chair says Parra can't count on party support

By Ben van der Meer, PolitickerCA.com Senior Reporter

California Assemblywoman Nicole Parra (D-Hanford) can't count on future support from Kern County Democrats, after she denounced them and supported a Republican running to replace her last Friday.

"She doesn't have any party loyalty," Easter said Monday. "I don't think our committee would support her under any circumstances."
