Sonoma County Democratic Party urges voters not to be misled by 5th District slate mailer
Reiterates that Rue Furch is the only candidate endorsed in the 5th Supervisor District race
In response to misleading mailers that Sonoma County voters have received regarding Democratic candidates for local office, the Sonoma County Democratic Party reminded voters on Wednesday that Rue Furch is the only candidate endorsed by the Sonoma County Democratic Party for the 5th District Supervisor seat. They further explained that any literature sanctioned by the Sonoma County Democratic Party to influence this race will bear the Party’s logo and cite Rue Furch as the endorsed candidate.

“In the final days of the campaign season, opportunities for confusion abound,” said Stephen Gale, Chair of the Sonoma County Democratic Party. “Voters should be aware that due to her breadth of experience and commitment to progressive values, Rue Furch is the one and only choice of the Sonoma County Democratic Party in the 5th District Supervisor race. The commercial slate card many voters received in the mail this week lists another candidate as the Democratic Choice. We want to make sure this deceptive mail piece does not confuse voters in the last few days before the election.”
