Ashland, CA – Today, Jennifer Esteen, RN announced that she has received the endorsement of the Castro Valley Democratic Club. The club serves the areas of Castro Valley, Ashland, Cherryland, San Lorenzo, and Fairview and is an official chartered club of the Alameda County Democratic Party.

The club provided the following statement: “The Castro Valley Democratic Club is proud to support Jennifer Esteen, RN for Alameda County Supervisor District 4. We feel she is well qualified and someone who represents the progressive goals and interests of the Club.”
“It’s clear that all across Alameda County people want change, new energy, and a fresh vision. They are tired of the status quo,” said Esteen. “I am thrilled to be backed by the Castro Valley Democratic Club and look forward to working side-by-side with them as we address the needs of our unincorporated community and all of Alameda County.”
Esteen went on to add: “This endorsement is a testament to our campaign and the organizing power we have to defeat the incumbent.”
