FORMER GOVERNOR GEORGE DEUKMEJIAN ENDORSES SENATOR CHUCK POOCHIGIAN
FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL IN 2006
LOS ANGELES, MARCH 24, NOYAN TAPAN. In a letter to California
voters, former Governor George Deukmejian has officially endorsed
Sen. Chuck Poochigian in his bid to be California's next Attorney
General. "Chuck Poochigian, one of the most decent men I know, is
extraordinarily well qualified to become California's next Attorney
General," said Deukmejian, who served as California's Attorney
General from 1979-1983. "His list of legislative accomplishments
in the area of crime prevention is long," Deukmejian said. "Chuck
successfully passed laws to increase protections for victims of crime,
to increase DNA training which will lead to the prosecution of more
crimes, and to increase law enforcement in the rural communities of the
state." Deukmejian also commended Poochigian's ability to work with the
majority party. "Chuck Poochigian is so respected by all members of the
California Legislature that he is able to introduce strong legislation
across a broad range of issues and work it all the way into law,"
Deukmejian said. "As Governor and Attorney General, George Deukmejian
made public safety his number one priority," Poochigian said. "Over
the years, his passion for protecting the safety of California's
citizens, his commitment to public service, his intelligence and
his integrity have taught me a great deal about leadership. I am
very honored to have his endorsement." Poochigian is serving in his
second term in the State Senate. He previously served four years in
the State Assembly. Poochigian worked for both Deukmejian and former
Gov. Pete Wilson, serving as Wilson's Appointments Secretary.
