Three Popular San Joaquin Supervisors Endorse Alan Nakanishi for Board of Equalization
(Lodi) – Popular San Joaquin Supervisors Steve J. Bestolarides, Larry Ruhstaller, and Ken Vogel announced today their endorsement of former assemblyman Alan Nakanishi for the open 2nd district Board of Equalization seat, where current Board of Equalization Member Bill Leonard is retiring due to term limits.
“We know Alan Nakanishi and understand his longstanding commitment to the taxpayers,” said Supervisor Bestolarides. “With the Board of Equalization acting as a referee and a place where taxpayers can appeal a wrong tax decision, its important that we elect a proven taxpayer advocate to the Board. That’s why we support Alan Nakanishi – someone we trust to always come down on the side of taxpayers and against big, aggressive government.”
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. 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.
