Anaheim Mayor Curt Pringle today endorsed Jeff Miller for Assembly in the 71st District primary election.

"As a businessman and the Mayor of a fast growing city, Jeff Miller has always stood up for local taxpayers and worked to make government freedom-friendly and less costly. He will use that expertise and common sense in Sacramento," said Anaheim Mayor Curt Pringle, the Former Republican Speaker of the Assembly.

Pringle's endorsement comes on the heels of several other major endorsements earned by Miller in recent weeks, including the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association PAC, Congressman Dana Rohrabacher and Mission Viejo Councilman Frank Ury.

"Curt Pringle epitomizes what a Republican Mayor should be and I am proud to have his endorsement. It has been an honor working with him on issues that affect our part of California, and I look forward to continuing to work with him in the future," said Miller.
