State Sen. Chuck Poochigian, R-Fresno, shares at least one thing
with Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and Al Gore: All received campaign
contributions from Andre Agassi.
The tennis great gave $10,000 to Poochigian's campaign for attorney
general.
Agassi won't give his reasons for supporting a Republican's campaign
after years of contributing to Democratic candidates.
Poochigian credits a common friend whom he will not name.
"A strong supporter of mine said he would try to raise some funds,
and among the people he knows, apparently well, is Andre Agassi,"
Poochigian said.
Poochigian is running against Democrat Jerry Brown for attorney general
Agassi is gearing up for competition as well. The winner of eight Grand
Slam titles, he announced the U.S. Open will be his last tournament.
