For Immediate Release SACRAMENTO – Captain Jim Cooper today was endorsed by the Sacramento Hispanic Chamber of Commerce PAC in his bid to become the next Sheriff of Sacramento County in 2010. "On behalf of the Sacramento Hispanic Chamber of Commerce PAC, it's my pleasure to advise you that you have earned the SHCC PAC endorsement for election to the office of Sheriff, County of Sacramento," wrote SHCC PAC Chairman John Rueda in a letter to Cooper. "The Sacramento Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and its PAC, are dedicated to supporting candidates such as yourself that seek to empower and advance Latino-owned businesses in the greater Sacramento region. We look forward to the continuing opportunity to work with you in this cause." Cooper has also been endorsed by a broad cross-section of residents, community leaders, groups and law enforcement officers from Sacramento County, including former Sheriff Lou Blanas; the Sac-Sierra Building and Construction Trades Council, Sacramento County Supervisor Jimmie Yee and many others. (see www.jimcooperforsheriff.com for complete endorsement list) "It is an honor to have the support of Sacramento Hispanic businesses," said Cooper. "Hispanics represent 20% of the population in the county and are very active as small business owners and advocates. In order for business owners in our county to succeed, they need a safe, secure environment from which to operate and that will be my top priority as Sheriff." Cooper spent nine of his 25 years in law enforcement undercover taking down gangs and drug dealers and has been honored with a Bronze Star for Bravery. Currently, Cooper leads the High-Tech Crimes Task Force, cracking down on identity thieves and Internet predators that target children online. Cooper also serves as a founding Councilmember for the City of Elk Grove. Due to the Council's sound fiscal planning, Elk Grove has one of the largest surpluses in the region with $13 million in reserve. As Elk Grove's first Mayor, Cooper set the tone for how the City conducts business today, with accessibility, regional partnership and public engagement as the cornerstones for a successful government. ###
