January 26, 2010

Conservative Republican businessman Russ Bogh has announced the endorsements of more desert leaders.

Desert Hot Springs City Councilmember Scott Matas currently serves as the Mayor Pro Tem. A local business owner, Councilmember Matas is well aware of the challenges facing California. Councilman Matas has established himself as a leader to improve the quality of life in Desert Hot Springs. He joins his Colleague Mayor Yvonne Parks in endorsing Bogh.

Indio City Councilmember Glenn Miller is recognized throughout the Coachella Valley as a leader both through his public service and giving his time generously to youth in the Desert. Councilman Miller is a regional leader and serves on important committees such as the Coachella Valley Economic Partnership and the Riverside Transit Agency.

Also backing Bogh is former Palm Springs Councilman Mike McCullough. A long time Palm Springs resident, former Councilman McCullough is respected throughout the Coachella Valley.

"I'm truly honored by the overwhelming early support I've received from Republican leaders throughout the Desert," said Bogh. "Clearly our message is resonating with the people - a message of more jobs, less government and a stronger economy. As a State Senator, I look forward to turning these messages into reality for all of California.
