In the race for California’s open 1st Assembly District, farmer, small business owner and Lassen County Supervisor Brian Dahle announced today an important endorsement from the only Democratic candidate on the June ballot for the 1st Assembly District: Robert Meacher. Dahle prevailed in June over Plumas County Supervisor Meacher and Redding City Councilman Rick Bosetti by a margin of 34.4% for Dahle, 28.6% for Bosetti and 25.6% for Meacher.
“I’m not in the habit of endorsing conservative Republicans,” said Meacher. “But, our need to create jobs in California is so dire, and the only candidate (other than myself) I see who truly understands the free market and small business growth is Brian Dahle. While I certainly don’t agree with him on everything, I do believe Brian will be a strong voice to get small businesses growing again, which will help all of our families.”
Robert Meacher was first elected to Plumas County Supervisor in 1992. He is also a former Chairman of the Regional Council of Rural Counties (RCRC).
Brian Dahle is a self-made business owner and third generation farmer. Elected to the Lassen County Board of Supervisors in 1996, he has been a leading voice for North State economic and agricultural development. That’s one reason why, in the recent June Primary, Brian Dahle raised impressive financial support from the District’s business community, despite his late entry into the Assembly contest. Brian’s strong fundraising totals surprised most observers and established him as one of the strongest Assembly challengers in the State.
Brian Dahle’s leadership positions include Past President of the Western Interstate Region for the National Association of Counties (NACO), Chairman of the Energy Environment Land Use Committee for NACO, Chairman of the California Housing & Finance Corporation, Chairman of the National Housing & Finance Corporation, and Past Chairman and current Board Member for the Regional Council of Rural Counties (RCRC). Brian has also been honored with the Circle of Service Award from the California State Association of Counties, and the Dale Sowards Award for public service from the Western Interstate Region of NACO.
Brian and Megan Dahle live in Lassen County where they are raising their three children.
