(Lodi) – In the first half of 2009, Former Assemblyman and Lodi Mayor Alan Nakanishi raised over $110,000 toward his campaign for the open 2nd District Board of Equalization Seat, bringing his total funds raised for this seat to over $700,000.
“Doctor Nakanishi has set a very strong fundraising pace and continues to distance himself from the competition,” said Nakanishi spokesman Tim Clark. “He is on track to raise over a million dollars in this race, which will allow him to wage a strong campaign both in the mail and on the airwaves.”
Following the lead of winning candidates in other Board of Equalization seats, Alan Nakanishi has also reserved positions on over 90% of the Republican slate cards for the June 2010 primary election.
Additionally, Alan also enjoys widespread endorsements from his former legislative colleagues.
First elected to Assembly in 2002, Alan Nakanishi quickly earned a reputation as a fiscally conservative, taxpayer and small business advocate who fought to cut wasteful spending and oppose higher taxes. In 2004, Alan was a coauthor of California’s landmark Workers Compensation Reform law, which has resulted in lower premiums, better coverage for workers, and an end to the spiraling cost of workers’ compensation in California. Prior to joining the Assembly, Alan Nakanishi was elected to the Lodi City Council in 1998 and served as Mayor in 2001.
Alan Nakanishi earned his medical degree from Loma Linda University, and after completing medical training at USC Medical Center, he served as a Major in the U.S. Army, leading a surgical department at McDonald Army Hospital. Doctor Nakanishi is a prominent Ophthalmologist and co-founder of Delta Eye Medical Group, a six physician group with three offices in the Central Valley. He and his wife Sue live in Lodi. ###
