January 14, 2010

Desert Hot Springs Mayor Yvonne Parks has announced her support of conservative Riverside County businessman and former State Assemblyman Russ Bogh.

"As a longtime resident of Riverside County, Russ Bogh understands the unique issues facing our desert communities and he'll make us a top priority in Sacramento. As a local businessman, he knows how to create jobs and balance a budget- two things we desperately need during these tough economic times," says Mayor Yvonne Parks.

Russ Bogh served Riverside County residents in the State Assembly from 2001-2006. During that time he was selected by fellow Republicans to serve as the Assembly Republican Caucus Chairman -- the second ranking Republican leader in the Assembly.

A longtime resident of Riverside County, Russ and his wife, Sheri, reside in Beaumont along with their three children.

The special election primary for the 37th Senate District will be held Tuesday, April 13, 2010.
