Statements of Support

"Middleton's overall approach to governing fits a district where partisan issues are not a top concern. She describes her approach to governing as a bridge builder and problem solver. Middleton does not act or sound like a rookie aspirant. It is refreshing to listen to a Democrat who isn't afraid of a third rail inside the Legislature - California's rampant retail theft. Middleton is up to the challenge."
