CHICO – Today, State Assembly candidate Dom Belza announced endorsements from some of the most influential and effective community advocates in the City of Chico. The individuals endorsing Belza have played a critical role in almost every major Chico political victory for conservatives in recent years. The local leaders joining Assemblyman James Gallagher in support for Belza include:

• Laurie Bowers (Maloney), Realtor / Former Executive Director of Point of Contact 

• Marc Breckenridge, Farmer & Chico Airport Commissioner

• Bud Caldwell, Business Owner / Former President of the Alliance for California Business

• Chris Giampaoli, Developer / Contractor/ President of Epick Homes 

• Doug Guillon, Owner of Guillon Inc. / Founder of Chico Economic Development Corp.

• Rob Berry, Founder of Chico First 

• Nichole Nava, City of Chico Bidwell Park & Playground Commissioner / Co-Lead of Prop 36 Butte County / Founder of One Chico & Save Our Chico!

• Jim Parrott, President of A Better Chico PAC / Former President of the Chico Police Officers Association

• Bill Webb, Owner of Bill Webb Construction Inc. 

• Shawn Macneill, Former Co-Chair of Citizens for a Safe Chico

Chico Mayor Kasey Reynolds, who has also endorsed Belza, noted the significance of today’s announcement, “This is an absolute all-star lineup of support. And it speaks volumes to the confidence that we have in Dom to be our representative in Sacramento. Trust me when I say that these folks know how to organize and make things happen.”

Chico is the largest city in the 3^rd Assembly District with a population over 100,000. Despite a 16% Democrat voter registration advantage, the Chico City Council has enjoyed a conservative majority since 2020. The powerhouse lineup of individuals noted above have played a major role in the city’s political shift - raising hundreds of thousands of dollars, organizing grassroots activism and keeping the community informed through social media and other channels.
