New Radio Ad Highlights Jerry Brown’s 1.9 million Job Creation Record as Former Governor

Working Californians launches third radio ad in markets across the state today (8/23/10)

(Sacramento, CA) - Working Californians, an independent expenditure committee, will begin its third radio ad campaign on behalf of Jerry Brown today. The ad comes on the heels of the IE’s successful Spanish language TV ad. Similar to Working Californians first radio ad back in July, the new ad focuses on Jerry Brown’s proven ability to get California back on track. The campaign is designed to run for several weeks in significant radio markets across the state including Los Angeles, the Central Valley and the Inland Empire. Working Californians represents a coalition that includes the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, the Service Employees International Union and the California Teachers Association.

California under Jerry Brown experienced a 1.9 million net gain in jobs while holding the line on taxes according to a recent report by a former Director of the Employment Development Department. That performance was stronger than any of the five most recent California Governors including Whitman’s campaign chair former Governor Pete Wilson.

“In this election we are faced with a clear choice. On one hand we have a candidate who has a proven record of creating jobs, balancing budgets and protecting the environment and on the other hand we have corporate CEO Meg Whitman. A personal fortune and 30 second sound bytes won’t get California back on track but Jerry Brown can and will,” said Marvin Kropke, Business Manager of IBEW Local 11 and co-chair of Working Californians.

Working Californians was formed in 2006 to support causes and candidates that improved the quality of life for average Californians. That year, Working Californians led a broad coalition of labor and business that supported John Chiang for Controller and played a significant role in his election.

When California’s next Governor takes office, it’ll take more than a personal fortune or campaign sound-byte to balance the budget, and fix our economy.

So instead of just listening to what the candidates say, consider what they’ve done.

As Governor, Jerry Brown helped create one-point-nine million new jobs. The LA Times calls Brown’s record on jobs “the strongest” of any recent Governor.*

Time Magazine said Brown “honored his pledge to hold the line on taxes.”**

Brown got rid of the governor’s jet and limo, and built up the largest budget surplus in state history.

Long before it was popular, Brown helped make California a leader in solar and wind energy.

Now he has a detailed plan to create five-hundred-thousand new clean-energy jobs – and he’s the only candidate with the proven record to get it done.

Jerry Brown. A Governor who knows how to get California back on track.
