SACRAMENTO – Today, California Republican Party Chairwoman Jessica Millan Patterson released the following statement in response to a court ruling to allow Assemblyman Vince Fong to appear on the ballot as a candidate in Congressional District 20:

“Today’s ruling was a victory for the voters of Congressional District 20 who will now get to decide who can best represent them from a full slate of candidates. The Sacramento Democrat machine tried and failed to interfere in a district that heavily favors Republicans, but the court rightly saw the legitimacy of Assemblyman Fong’s candidacy and put an end to Democrats’ political games. We look forward to a robust campaign in CA-20 as voters – not Sacramento Democrats – choose a leader to send to Washington on their behalf.”
