SUPERVISOR JIM PATTERSON ENDORSES LEN COLAMARINO FOR ATASCADERO CITY COUNCIL

Atascadero City Council candidate Len Colamarino announced today that his candidacy has been endorsed by Fifth District County Supervisor Jim Patterson. In granting the endorsement, Patterson said, "Atascadero needs people with Len's experience and skill on the city council. I am impressed by his commitment to the downtown and his balanced perspective." For his part, Colamarino said,"I am honored to gain the endorsement of Jim Patterson, a person I admire for his professionalism and fair-mindedness."

The endorsement from Patterson comes on the heels of the September 28 endorsement of Colamarino's candidacy by the San Luis Obispo Tribune, which emphasized his "professional background and his experience in conflict resolution" in urging Atascadero voters to select him. An attorney with thirty years of corporate experience, Colamarino is running as the "can-do" candidate because of his optimism, work ethic, business acumen and a commitment to achieving consensus in the community.
