“I am proud to endorse Senator Mark DeSaulnier for Congress because he has an extensive record of service to the people of Solano County,” said Seifert. “Mark has fought for the people of Solano County and has proven himself to be a leader on important issues facing Solano County, including transportation, the environment and healthcare.”

DeSaulnier, a Democrat, has been endorsed by more than a dozen local labor unions and more than two dozen local elected officials. He is a candidate for former Congresswoman Ellen Tauscher’s seat in the 10th Congressional District. Tauscher retired from Congress in June.
