Statement From Assemblyman Jeff Gonzalez

 

INDIO –  Jeff Gonzalez, R-Indio, is leaving the 36th Assembly District the same way he entered it — with class and honor. In a statement released Sunday afternoon, Gonzalez said,

“While this is not the outcome we hoped for, I respect the decision of the voters. It has been the honor of my life to serve the people of the 36th Assembly District.

For 21 years, I had the privilege of serving our country as a United States Marine. I carried that same commitment to service into the State Assembly. I never believed my responsibility was to represent just one political party or only those who voted for me. My team and I worked to be present in every corner of this district because every community, every voice and every resident matters.

“I have always believed good government requires pragmatism, transparency and accountability. I hope the residents of the 36th District continue to demand those things from their elected leaders, because that is what they deserve.

“To my incredible wife Christine, kids, entire family, staff, volunteers, supporters and everyone who welcomed us along the way, thank you. Serving you has been an incredible honor. My commitment to serving others does not end here.”
