Fresno, CA (KFSN) -- Fresno Mayoral Candidate Ashley Swearingen has won endorsements from a leading Hispanic Democrat, and a conservative Republican.
State Assembly Member Juan Arambula, a Democrat from Fresno was joined by Republican Assembly leader Mike Villines of Clovis in endorsing Ashley Swearingen's campaign.
Both men were slated to appear at a fundraiser for Swearingen Friday night, but had to make their endorsements by telephone, since they were unable to leave Sacramento because of the ongoing negotiations over the California state budget.
The fundraiser for Swearingen drew supporters and community leaders. Current Fresno Mayor Alan Autry appeared, but said he was not prepared to endorse Swearingen, or her opponent city council member Henry T. Perea.
