ASSEMBLY DISTRICT 47, CA — In a significant show of support, Christy Holstege's campaign for State Assembly is proud to announce the endorsement of Betty Yee, a longtime California leader who served Californians on the Board of Equalization and as State Controller. Yee joins a growing list of state leaders backing Christy, including Governor Gavin Newsom, Attorney General Rob Bonta, and Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas.

"I am deeply honored to receive the endorsement of Betty Yee," said Christy Holstege.

This impressive lineup also features backing from the California Labor Federation and the Planned Parenthood Action Fund of the Pacific Southwest, highlighting key advocacy support.
