FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

April 16, 2010

Sacramento, CA - The 30,000 member strong California Professional Firefighters announced their endorsement of Alan Nakanishi for Board of Equalization, District 2. 

"Our endorsement comes with great respect for your strong support of public safety and your awareness of the critical issues that impact firefighters and their families," wrote CA Professional Firefighters President Lou Paulson.

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.
