Republican Janice Keating Gains Another Local Endorsement for the Open 25th Assembly District....Ceres Councilmember Guillermo Ochoa Adds His Support
(Ceres, CA) – Republican former Modesto Councilwoman Janice Keating continues to consolidate GOP support in her bid for the 25th Assembly District as she received today the endorsement of Ceres Councilmember Guillermo Ochoa, who adds his name to a growing list of Keating supporters.
“California has a desperate need for financial accountability right now,” said Councilmember Ochoa. “Janice Keating understands that, and just as important, she knows how to bring accountability to government and cut wasteful spending. She’s done that on the Modesto Audit and Finance committees. That’s why I trust her with my endorsement.”....
Councilmember Ochoa was first elected in 2007. He is a successful entrepreneur and businessman, who currently owns and manages Garcia’s Market.
Janice Keating was first elected to the Modesto City Council in 2001, where she utilized her strong fundraising and broad-based grassroots effort to unseat an incumbent. She has chaired the city’s Finance and Economic Development Committees and served as the Vice-Chair of the Audit Committee. Janice has also served as a member of the Stanislaus Council of Governments, the Modesto Irrigation District Domestic Water Policy Board, and the Stanislaus County Family Justice Center Steering Committee, among others.
In 2004, Janice was honored in the state capitol as Woman of the Year from the 25th Assembly District, named by then Assemblyman Dave Cogdill. In 2006, Janice ran for the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors, raising over $200,000 in a high profile campaign and coming within just twenty votes of defeating then State Senator Dick Monteith in a runoff election.
