Candidate Receives Endorsement of Retired Vet
In the hotly contested race among Democrats in the 48th congressional district, candidate Michael Kotick, of Laguna Beach, recently received an endorsement from retired Army Colonel Arnold V. Strong.
“It is during this time of great national change that Mr. Kotick’s work ethic, vision, and commitment to community and country is needed most,” says a statement from Strong, a spokesman for DeepCurrent, a Los Angeles-based software company.
“My endorsement is not about political party; this is about supporting a leader that can make positive, effective change for a brighter future.”
