Yuba GOP backs Logue for Senate

Mirroring the endorsement from the county Republican Party, the Yuba County Republican Assembly has endorsed Assemblyman Dan Logue for state Senate.

Logue, R-Loma Rica, has demonstrated unwavering conservative values, said assembly president Elden Fowler in a press release from Logue's campaign.

In addition to several county GOP parties, Logue's campaign has claimed an endorsement from the Butte County Republican Assembly.

Logue, who is also on the ballot for a final Assembly term, is running against four others in the 4th State Senate District special election.
