Assemblywoman Dawn Addis Endorses Jim Dantona for County Supervisor

SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA – Jim Dantona, President and CEO of the San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce, today announced that Assemblymember Dawn Addis (D-Morro Bay) has endorsed Dantona's campaign for 2nd District SLO County Supervisor.

“As a representative and resident of the Coast, I know how important it is to have leaders who understand both the beauty and the challenges of our coastal communities,” said Asm. Addis. “Jim Dantona is the right person to continue protecting our coastline and environment while helping our economy thrive. He has the experience, the vision, and the heart to deliver for every corner of District 2."

Dantona is running to succeed Supervisor Bruce Gibson, who is retiring at the end of his fifth four-year term. Dantona's campaign has focused on protecting San Luis Obispo County’s way of life while ensuring that working families and future generations can afford to stay and thrive here.

“I’m deeply honored to have Assemblymember Addis’s support,” said Dantona. “She’s a dedicated public servant who has been a tireless advocate for our Coast and our communities. I look forward to working with her to help protect what’s special about San Luis Obispo County while building a stronger, more inclusive economy.”

The endorsement adds to the growing momentum behind Dantona’s campaign, which has already garnered support from outgoing Second District Supervisor Bruce Gibson, U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-Central Coast), Rep. Jimmy Panetta (D-Central Coast), the San Luis Obispo County Democratic Party and numerous community leaders throughout SLO County. Dantona’s broad coalition includes community leaders, workers, environmental stakeholders and neighborhood advocates united around a vision of responsive local government and balanced growth.

Dantona is a member of the Cayucos Citizens' Advisory Council and has served as President / CEO of the SLO Chamber of Commerce for the last seven years. His position as a small business advocate has given him keen insight into the nexus between quality of life and economic stability.

San Luis Obispo County's 2nd Supervisorial District encompasses Morro Bay, Cayucos, Cambria, Los Osos, San Simeon and a portion of the City of San Luis Obispo.
