Campaign Gets Strong Start for 2012

Democratic Assemblymember Bill Monning thanked volunteers and contributors for their support in 2011, saying "Thanks to you, my campaign for the California State Senate can make a strong start in 2012." Monning urged supporters to consider a final 2011 contribution to meet the campaign's fundraising goal.

Monning is running for the newly drawn 17th State Senate District, which includes Santa Cruz and San Luis Obispo Counties and portions of Monterey and Santa Clara Counties.

Monning currently represents much of the district including portions of Santa Cruz, Santa Clara and Monterey Counties. In all, he has represented over half of the newly drawn 17th State Senate District since his election to the State Assembly in 2008.

"I have spent the last three years in the Assembly fighting hard for the Central Coast,” Monning said. “I have battled to save our coastline, promote our hospitality and tourism industry, provide greater access to health care options, protect consumers, and make sure the state’s budget isn’t balanced on the backs of our most vulnerable citizens. I will be asking the people of the newly redrawn 17th District to allow me to continue this work in the State Senate."

You Can Help

Monning is appealing to supporters of his past Assembly campaigns as well as friends and former colleagues from his years of community service in mediation and conflict resolution, legal advocacy on behalf of farmworkers, and tireless efforts for accessible healthcare, human rights, and environmental protection.

“Your early contribution allows me to run for State Senate with the confidence that we will have the resources to mount a strong campaign to win in 2012,” said Monning, noting that endorsers of his previous campaigns will need to affirm their endorsements for the Senate race.

Online contributions and endorsements are easily made via Monning’s Senate campaign website, at Contribute and Endorse.

Contribute to a Strong Start in 2012

Monning asked supporters to consider making a contribution early in the year. "Your contribution now can really help, because in just a few weeks my campaign will start putting me in touch with thousands of people. And it costs money to do that.

"I look forward to meeting with voters throughout the new Senate district, to listen and discuss their hopes and concerns for the Central Coast region and California. With a district this big, I want to start as early as possible in 2012.

"We reached our End of-2011 goal!! for a strong start in 2012. We have a long road ahead to November. Please consider making a contribution today to sustain my campaign to victory!"

Build the Network of Monning Supporters

Take Action!

Monning also urged supporters to make use of technology to boost awareness of his campaign.

"Today we have so many ways for people to communicate and spread the word about important political developments. You can participate in my campaign and build your own network and social connections at the same time!"

To keep the district informed about the issues facing California and the Central Coast region, Bill speaks and takes calls on local radio stations radio every week (see the Schedule).
