| Description | Republican state Senate candidate Gary Podesto, the mayor of Stockton and a former grocery store owner, snagged the California Farm Bureau Federation’s endorsement Wednesday over Democratic Sen. Mike Machado, a third-generation farmer from Linden.
“Machado forgot his farming roots and small-town values that appealed to so many Republicans, Democrats and swing voters,” Farm Bureau President Bill Pauli said.
Machado is running for a second term in the 5th Senate District, which stretches from Woodland and Davis in the north to Manteca and Tracy in the south, and includes Fairfield and Vacaville. |
