The Capital Lincoln Club, an organization dedicated to advancing conservative values, economic freedom, limited government, and pro-business policies, has officially endorsed Redding Mayor Tenessa Audette for California State Assembly District 1. This endorsement follows a decisive evaluation, during which both candidates presented their vision for effective representation of the North State in Sacramento.

Modoc leaders are endorsing Audette over their local candidate, former Modoc County employee Heather Hadwick, making it clear that Audette’s leadership and experience resonates strongly across the county.

"Tenessa Audette is a champion for our traditional founding principles of limited government, fiscal responsibility, and individual liberty," McClintock stated. "She knows that we must safeguard our freedoms from the dictates of the radical left that controls the Legislature. Tenessa will fight against the crushing mandates that are robbing Californians of their freedom and will stand for a smaller government that is accountable to the people."

With this latest endorsement, Audette continues to solidify her reputation as the candidate who will work with law enforcement and local officials to keep communities safe, combat government overreach, and fight for responsible governance. Sheriff Leikauf’s leadership and experience in public safety mirror Audette’s commitment to serving and protecting the people of District 1.

In a decisive moment, Tenessa Audette has secured the official sole endorsement of the California Republican Party (CAGOP) for State Assembly District 1, making her the only candidate to receive the party’s backing in this Republican vs. Republican race.

Tenessa Audette’s campaign for California’s First Assembly District has gained key endorsements from Sierra County Sheriff Mike Fisher and Supervisor Paul Roen. Fisher praised Audette’s commitment to public safety, while Roen highlighted her hands-on approach to wildfire prevention and forest management. Audette’s focus on public safety, wildfire mitigation, and sustainable economic growth continues to garner support from regional leaders, including three Sierra County Supervisors.

In a continued wave of support from both seasoned and newly elected officials, Nevada County Supervisor-Elect Robb Tucker has officially endorsed Tenessa Audette for California’s First Assembly District. Tucker, who was overwhelmingly elected because of his focus on pragmatic solutions and restoring local trust, joins other leaders who have a pulse on the issues that matter most to the people and the diverse needs of the North State.

Tenessa Audette has secured endorsements from five of the six Republican Central Committees in California's First District, representing 80% of registered Republicans. As the only candidate with local committee backing, including El Dorado, Placer, Nevada, Siskiyou, and Shasta County, Audette is now eligible for the California Republican Party's statewide endorsement, with a decision expected soon.

In the most significant development to date in the campaign for Assembly in California’s First District, today Congressman Doug LaMalfa announced his endorsement of Redding Mayor Tenessa Audette.

“Tenessa Audette is the kind of leader we need in Sacramento. Like me, she understands that government should focus on doing less, but doing it better,” said Dixon.
