Democratic voters in Lake County have received a mailer from a group calling itself "Cops Voter Guide" which features images and branding designed to make readers believe it represents law enforcement. One needs a magnifying glass to read the small print which admits there is no association with law enforcement or public safety personnel.

In truth, this mailer is simply a paid political ad, designed for the sole purpose of deceiving Democratic voters into believing that Steve Brown and Don Anderson share endorsements with key Democratic candidates like Dianne Feinstein, John Chang, Dave Jones, etc. This is not true.

The Democratic Party of Lake County has endorsed Susan Krones for district attorney, Shanda Harry for Superior Court judge, Brock Falkenberg for county superintendent of schools and Bruno Sabatier for District 2 supervisor.

The Democratic Party conducted extensive interviews to determine which candidates will best serve Lake County.

This type of mailer convinces me that we certainly made the right decision. Our district attorney and Superior Court judges should uphold the highest ethical standards and not participate in voter deception!
