Voters, do not be deceived by Steve Brown's most recent mailer.

Candidate Brown paid for a spot on a slate mailer.

He has not been supported by the longstanding Democrats as he suggests. The California Democratic Party and the Lake County Democratic Central Committee have not endorsed Mr. Brown.

The Democratic Party of Lake County endorsed Susan Krones for district attorney.

For a candidate who continuously questions the ethics of the current district attorney and his staff, his deceptive mailer only calls into question his own ethics.

Tom Jordan is chair of the Lake County Democratic Central Committee Elections Committee. He lives in Lakeport, Calif.
