Greg Wallis’s Endorsement of Sheriff Chad Bianco

Riverside, CA, June 21, 2024

The Riverside County Democratic Party condemns Assemblymember for the 47th Greg Wallis’s recent endorsement of Sheriff Chad Bianco for governor. With this endorsement , Wallis has revealed his true colors, now aligning himself publicly with Bianco’s extreme far-right views and associations.

Sheriff Chad Bianco’s alignment with the January 6th insurrectionists and his consistent promotion of extremist ideologies are well-documented and stand in stark contrast to the principles of democracy, unity, and justice that our community values. His record as sheriff has been marred by controversy, divisiveness, and actions that undermine the trust and safety of our residents. Assemblymember Wallis’s decision to endorse Bianco raises serious questions about his commitment to genuine bipartisan representation. As an elected official, Wallis has campaigned on bridging divides and representing all constituents. Endorsing a figure as polarizing and extreme as Bianco, one who enthusiastically endorses Putting A Felon In The Whitehouse, is a betrayal of that promise and helps normalize extremist views within our political discourse. Riverside County deserves leaders who stand for inclusivity, justice, and the fundamental principles of democracy. Sheriff Bianco’s track record is a stark antithesis to these values. In these challenging times, it is more crucial than ever to support leaders who are committed to protecting the rights and freedoms of all individuals, rather than those who seek to divide and incite discord. That leader for the Assembly in the 47th is Democratic candidate Christy Holstege. The Riverside County Democratic Party remains dedicated to promoting candidates and policies that reflect the true spirit of democracy, equity, and justice for all.
