I will work with them to be a voice for local taxpayers and oppose the out-of-control tax increases in the Legislature and bring some much-needed relief to local families.” Joe Patterson continues to announce major supporters in his campaign. Just in the last few days, Patterson announced endorsements from Senator Jim Nielsen, Assemblyman James Gallagher as well as Rocklin Mayor Bill Halldin and Lincoln Mayor Holly Woods-Andreatta.
