VENTURA – Friday, March 10th 2006, Bob Larkin, former Ventura County Republican Chairman and local business owner officially filed his candidacy for the 37th Assembly District held by Audra Strickland.

I am running for State Assembly because we need to have someone that has a plan to strengthen our borders and repair our infrastructure. Also we cannot have Audra Strickland in office whose family profits illegally using special interest money,” said Bob Larkin.

California Financial Campaign Disclosures have shown that Audra and Tony Strickland have been profiting for personal use over $150,000.00 from political action committees and their own campaigns to pay for personal expenses.
