Naomi Patridge mistakenly claims Supervisor Rich Gordon’s endorsement

Naomi Patridge’s campaign materials list San Mateo County Supervisor Rich Gordon as endorsing her, but Gordon has never endorsed Patridge in this campaign. Gordon has spoken with Patridge this week to make it clear to her that she does not have his endorsement. Patridge has agreed to remove his name from her campaign materials.

"If Supervisor Gordon had an opportunity to vote in this election, he’d vote for Steve Skinner, Jim Grady, and Bonnie McClung," said Deborah Hirst, legislative aide in Gordon’s office. "He and Naomi Patridge had a misunderstanding about his endorsement.  They remember things differently."

Patridge’s ad in the October 19 edition of the Half Moon Bay Review listed Gordon as an endorser. She ran no ad in the most recent issue, on October 26. Patridge did not return Coastsider’s call for comment.
