SAN JOSE--California Attorney General Bill Lockyer today endorsed Governor Howard Dean, M.D.

"Howard Dean offers the best assurance that Democrats can rescue America from George W. Bush, and move our country forward on the issues Americans trust Democrats to do best: job creation, education, the environment, workers' rights and health care," Lockyer said.

"Most important to me, Howard Dean tells the truth, and George Bush isn't leveling with the American people. I'm pleased to join the Dean campaign to take the White House back from an administration that kowtows to big business and ignores the hopes, dreams and needs of America's working families," Attorney General Lockyer added.

Bill Lockyer was first elected as Attorney General in 1998 and was re-elected in 2002. As California's highest-ranking law enforcement officer, Attorney General Lockyer has shifted the state's Department of Justice from purely prosecution to include a focus on homeland security intelligence and crime prevention, keeping California safer and stopping crime before it occurs. In addition, Lockyer has gone after businesses such as predatory lenders, deceptive credit card lenders, and living trust mills that seek to take advantage of California consumers.

He is the second statewide official in California to endorse Dean and joins nine members of Congress representing California who have endorsed as well.
