Proud to be an environmental leaderMedia Release/For Immediate Release Conservation Group Praises Hedrick’s Commitment to Protecting America’s Environment RIVERSIDE, CA – Democrat Bill Hedrick has become the first 2010 Congressional candidate who is challenging a sitting incumbent to receive the national endorsement of the Sierra Club, one of the oldest, largest, and most influential grassroots environmental organizations in the United States. Stated Sierra Club San Gorgonio Chapter Chair, Rick Estes, “We are very pleased to announce…that the Sierra Club officially endorses Bill Hedrick. We are confident that Bill will continue work to protect California’s environment, for our families and for our future." Said Hedrick, “I am proud to have earned the endorsement of the Sierra Club. It is an honor to have my work on behalf of the environment recognized by this prestigious organization. Hedrick continued, “My opponent has supported offshore oil drilling near Orange County beaches and opposed funding to fight wildfires, but I will work to protect California’s pristine coastline by opposing any offshore drilling and provide local officials with the resources needed to prevent and stop wildfires. We must preserve our air, water, and natural environment. It is the legacy we leave for our children and grandchildren.” For more information, visit: Bill Hedrick has been a public school teacher for 35 years and, as a member of the Corona-Norco Board of Education, has helped lead California’s 8th largest school district for 21 years, improving the education of 53,000 children. With a grassroots campaign and no national support, Bill came within less than two percentage points of unseating 16-year incumbent Rep. Ken Calvert in 2008. Bill is running again to fight waste and corruption and bring leadership we can trust to Washington. |
