We can count on her to effectively fight for better schools, a cleaner environment and quality health care for all.”
— former State Sen. Sheila Kuehl
……………..
“Susan Jordan is the one candidate in this race that we believe will work to help us keep neighborhoods safe and who has the experience to make smart, responsible budgeting decisions that will get California back on track.

— Susan Manheimer, President of the California Police Chiefs Association
……………..

“I will say this much about Susan Jordan, she went with her conscience on the PXP deal. While all involved respect the efforts of the Santa Barbara community to work to end offshore drilling by allowing PXP a new short-term lease, Ms. Jordan and Pedro Nava understood that the end dates were statutorily not enforceable and represented a serious negative precedent of allowing new drilling in the state coastal sanctuary.
“People should understand she stood up for the legal and environmental rights for the residents of Santa Barbara despite how it would affect her run for office. We need more politicians who stand by their personal convictions, especially when the Attorney General and State Lands Commission publicly document the many reasons to follow her wisdom.”
— Jack Eidt, Director, Wild Heritage Planners
……………..

“The people of the 35th Assembly District need a strong leader in Sacramento who will stand up and fight for everyday Californians. Susan Jordan is a fierce advocate for our community. Her leadership in helping defeat the Oxnard LNG plant and blocking oil drilling off of the California coast demonstrates the fortitude she will bring to the halls of the Capitol.”
— California Democratic Party Vice-Chair Eric Bauman
……………..
“I felt strongly that I was not in a position to endorse either candidate in the race while I was still Region 10 Director, as my role was to support, encourage and provide resources for all Democratic candidates. The situation has now changed and I am free to endorse Susan. I support women in public office as I believe they bring a different intelligence to public life which is urgently needed in Sacramento. Second, I admire Susan’s history of activism, her intelligence, integrity and clarity of vision.”
— Former Democratic Party Region 10 Director Sue Broidy
……………..
“I am supporting Susan because she will be a tireless advocate for our children and our students from preschool to graduate school. Too many candidates are fainthearted and weak in the knees.

— Former State Superintendent of Public Instruction Delaine Eastin
……………..
“After getting to know Susan, I am impressed with the breadth and depth of her experience in public policy. More importantly, she has a fire in her core and commitment to fight on the issues that are critical to our communities.

— City of Oxnard Police Chief John Crombach
……………..
“Susan Jordan went to Australia in connection with her work with Natural Resources Defense Council in opposition to proposed LNG terminals along the southern California coast. Her environmental integrity is impeccable, and Susan Jordan always does her homework. She was a leader in the campaign to defeat a misguided proposal for an LNG terminal near Oxnard, and, working with local residents, she persuaded the state of California to reject it, to the surprise and chagrin of one of the largest corporations in the world.”
— Joel Reynolds, NRDC
……………..
“Susan Jordan has the integrity and experience to cut through the gridlock in Sacramento. She stands up for middle-class working families – not the special interests.

“Susan Jordan’s life experience makes her the right choice for the 35th Assembly District. She knows how working families struggle to make ends meet. Her mother was a single parent. It was a challenging situation and Susan learned first hand the value of hard work. She understands that a healthy community means jobs for families, good schools for our children and opportunities to grow and prosper. She has the intelligence, independence and maturity to stand up to the special interests. You can’t intimidate her. That’s why I support her 100 percent.”
— Labor leader Leo Valenzuela
