Congressional candidate Doug Ose was endorsed this week by the Republican Congress of Placer County after the organization interviewed three of the GOP candidates for the nomination.

Only State Sen. Tom McClintock failed to attend the session that was held Wednesday in Loomis. Ted Terbolizard and Suzanne Jones are the two other 4th Congressional candidates for the Republican nomination.

According to a press release, Ose “represents the basic Republican principles of fiscal conservatism has demonstrated a pragmatic ability to find solutions and has exhibited unquestioned high ethical standards and positions on earmarks.”
