Vaccaro joins other community leaders and elected officials in support of DeSaulnier for Congressional District 10, including Congressman George Miller, Assemblyman Tom Torlakson, Solano County Supervisor Linda Seifert, Solano County Supervisor Jim Spering and former Dixon City Councilmember Michael Smith.

“I am proud to endorse Mark DeSaulnier for Congress,” said Vaccaro. “Mark has fought for issues that matter most to Solano County, including healthcare for all, protecting the environment and improving transportation. Mark will continue to represent families in Solano County with progressive leadership when he is in Congress.”

“I am honored to receive the endorsement from Fairfield City Councilmember Vaccaro for my campaign for Congress,” said DeSaulnier. “I have fought to protect working families in Solano County and will continue to advocate for universal healthcare and smart growth for all communities in District 10 when I am in Congress.”

DeSaulnier, a Democrat, has been endorsed by over a dozen local labor unions and over 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.
