Atascadero City Council Members Unanimously Endorse Dow for District Attorney
Local support grows as election nears
San Luis Obispo, CA – Last week, Councilman Bob Kelley endorsed District Attorney Candidate Dan Dow, becoming the fifth Council Member from Atascadero to do so, and solidifying a unanimous endorsement from the City’s elected leaders.
The other members supporting the army veteran and Deputy District Attorney’s campaign for San Luis Obispo County DA include: Mayor Tom O’Malley, Mayor Pro Tem Brian Sturtevant, and Council Members Roberta Fonzi and Heather Moreno.
“Dan is clearly the most qualified candidate for District Attorney,” said Kelley. “I am confident that he will provide the cohesive and efficient leadership needed for the safety of our communities and the future of our County.”
In addition to the support of elected leaders throughout the county, Dow has emerged as the choice of law enforcement, receiving the endorsement of over 100 individual law enforcement professionals and capturing every endorsement given by the area’s public safety organizations.
“San Luis Obispo County needs a proven leader to serve as the next District Attorney in San Luis Obispo County,” said Mayor Tom O’Malley. “From overseas to here at home, Dan has demonstrated the ultimate commitment to public safety and his ability to work with all agencies and officials throughout the County will serve the department well.”
As a Deputy District Attorney, Dow has focused on prosecuting domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse crimes including homicide. As a dedicated public servant Dan’s community service goes beyond the courtroom, where he regularly speaks at Women’s Shelters and events seeking to provide financial and emotional support to victims of the crimes he prosecutes.
With the recent close of the candidate-filing period, the field has been set for the election to take place in first week of June. As Dow continues to build momentum with elected leaders, colleagues, business owners and community members; it is clear that he is the front-runner to be the next District Attorney for San Luis Obispo County.
