Davis Police Officers’ Association Endorses Joe Krovoza for State Assembly
On January 21, 2014, the DPOA officially announced their endorsement for Joe Krovoza. Joe Krovoza is a Democratic candidate running to represent the 4th Assembly District, which is comprised of Lake and Napa Counties, most of Yolo County, and part of Colusa, Solano, and Sonoma Counties.
President Sean Bellamy said, “Since Joe was elected Mayor he has been focused on consistent long-term solutions for our city. These decisions have been tough, but Joe has always been fair and we look forward to working with him in the future.”
“I am honored to have the support of the Davis Police Officers’ Association. During my time as Mayor, we have fought to ensure that our city did not continue on a path toward financial ruin,” said Krovoza. “These decisions have put Davis on a path to fiscal stability without sacrificing resources that keep our community safe.”
Joe Krovoza has been Mayor of Davis since 2011. During his term, he has created jobs and protected the region’s environmental assets. In addition, he works at UC Davis, where he has helped build nationally prominent clean transportation and energy efficiency research centers.

California Cannabis Industry Association Endorses Matt Pope for AD 4
The California Cannabis Industry Association supports Napa County Planning Commissioner Matt Pope for the 4th Assembly District. The association addresses issues relating to driving under the influence, unlawful diversion to minors, and substance abuse. The goal of the association is to promote safe, legal, and regulated products to agriculture goods.
Matt Pope is a Navy Veteran and a former law enforcement officer. Also, he is a district representative for Senator Noreen Evans and former president of the Napa County Democrats. Matt Pope has a plethora of experience regulating agriculture industries and has a background as a reserve police officer. His past positions will provide him useful knowledge, when implementing future policies.
Pope recognizes that the association aims to stop environmental damage and criminal actions derived from illegal growing activities. If the product is legalized, then 52% of Californians will be satisfied because more than half of California residents accept responsible, legal, taxed, and regulated cannabis production.
In addition to the California Cannabis Industry Association’s endorsement, Assemblywoman Mariko Yamada, state Senator Noreen Evans, and former Assembly Majority Floor Leader Michael Allen have also supported Pope’s campaign to represent the 4th Assembly District.

Pope gets the rope and dope endorsement.
While the DPOA endorsement is certainly better than a sharp stick in the eye, I’m not sure it moves Joe any closer to the Assembly. Dan Wolk’s strength comes from the heavy regional support he’s received via Lois’ connections, so Dan can afford to lose a few local votes and not worry a bit.
Regarding Matt Pope’s pickup of the cannabis endorsement: with friends like these…?
Without any inside information on this, I have to think that endorsement was a thank you from the DPOA to Krovoza for standing up to the firefighters.
Or maybe it was his support for allowing the cops to coerce kids into consenting to a breathalyzer for suspicion of walking while intoxicated something a majority of the council tabled.
Dan Wolk has also received the DPOA endorsement. They endorse both Davis candidates.
I guess its true, they have two dogs in this fight.

Good find, completely forgot about that.
Apparently, the DPOA has also endorsed the Durable Power of Attorney in this election for the Assembly.
