I would like to bring to the readers’ attention Chuck DeVore who is the California representative from Orange County. He is a common-sense conservative who is running against Barbara Boxer for the US Senate in 2010.

Chuck’s endorsements include a unanimous support from the Republicans in the State Assembly, over half of the GOP members of the State Senate, Congressman McClintock and Bill Leonard from the Board of Equalization.

In 2007-08, Chuck received a perfect pro-family score from the Capitol Resource Family Impact, the only group that runs a pro-family state lawmaker ranking.

DeVore served in the Pentagon as a Reagan White House appointee from 1986 to 1988. As special assistant for foreign affairs, his duties included working with Congress to advance Reagan’s foreign and military policy.

He also worked in the aerospace and defense industry for thirteen years and was vice president for research when he was elected in 2004.

Chuck DeVore is a serious candidate to watch in the 2010 elections.
