CA-11: Andal Making the Wrong Kind of Headlines

Dean Andal, the former Assemblyman from Stockton and Republican challenger to Rep. Jerry McNerney (D-Pleasanton, Calif.), is finally making headlines but not the ones he or the Republican Party wanted: “Andal denies ties to leak.”

A report issued last week by the San Joaquin County Civil Grand Jury charged Delta trustees with leaking to developers closed-session information about a deal to build a satellite campus in Mountain House — a violation of the Brown Act, a state law that governs how elected leaders must conduct themselves in both closed and public meetings.

Andal works as a consultant for Mountain House developer Gerry Kamilos, whose company, PCCP Mountain House LLC, has several employees.

The project was a complete disaster and squandered millions of dollars in taxpayer money.

Andal encountered trouble making headlines. Most local media focused on Congressman McNerney’s large fundraising lead, and Andal’s numbers are commonly described as “anemic,” “unimpressive,” and “insufficient.”

Andal’s troubles were picked up in the state-by-state rundown in The Hill.
