RACE ALERT: Over 50 CA-45 Leaders and Elected Officials Endorse Michelle Steel for Congress

Steel Continues to Build Widespread Support for Re-Election in CA-45

Today, Michelle Steel for Congress announced over 50 new endorsements from state and local leaders in California’s 45th Congressional District. The deep list of local endorsements show Steel’s widespread support across the newly formed district and highlights her strength as an incumbent with eight months to go until Election Day. 

The long list of leaders includes Garden Grove Councilmember Stephanie Klopfenstein, who stated “Congresswoman Steel has been a leader in this community for over a decade, and we are so proud she is now representing us in Congress. She understands the challenges our families, businesses, schools, and communities face, and she is fighting everyday in Congress to stand up for working class families and be a voice for the voiceless. I am thrilled to support her reelection to Congress.”

“I am humbled to receive the endorsements from so many local leaders who are working each and every day to better our communities,” said Congresswoman Steel. “As promised, I’ve opposed tax increases, worked tirelessly to support small businesses, and fought to root out corruption in an overreaching, bureaucratic government. I’m proud to have the support of our community’s leaders and will continue to work with them to better Southern California.”

Steel’s deep community support comes after she recently announced endorsements from key county leaders, including Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes.
