A Silent Un-Endorsement? Jeff Reisig, Head Of Powerful California DA Association, No Longer Listed As Endorser Of Todd Spitzer
Yesterday, OC Watch reported that Jeff Reisig, the Yolo County District Attorney who also serves as the President of the powerful California District Attorneys Association remained silent on whether he would stand by Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer even as elected prosecutors across the state rescinded their endorsements. Today, there is an answer—even if it doesn’t come from Mr. Reisig directly. Todd Spitzer quietly updates his campaign website today, and it no longer lists Mr. Reisig as an endorser.
Perhaps coincidentally, Mr. Reisig’s silent withdrawal comes a day after his opponent in the upcoming Yolo County District Attorney election, Cynthia Rodriguez, told OC Watch that Reisig’s silence is “yet another example of how Yolo’s current district attorney’s ideology is out of step with Yolo County residents, and how his policies are ill suited to tackle our public safety challenges.” Rodriguez added: “If his commitment to serving all of our residents means anything he will withdraw his support and call on Spitzer to resign.” Several hours ago, her campaign published a public statement elaborating on her position, which was first covered in the Davis Vanguard.
