Last night, Santa Clarita Community College Trustee Scott Wilk, a small businessman and community leader, announced that he has formally released State Senator Tony Strickland from his endorsement of Wilk’s campaign for State Assembly.

“Tony is long-time friend and has been one of my biggest supporters,” Wilk said. “I fully understand that since he is now seeking the congressional seat in the 26th district there are different factors he has to consider when it comes to where he places his endorsements. Because I consider Tony a good friend and want to see him do well in his congressional race I offered to release him from his endorsement.”

Senator Tony Strickland announced last week that he would be seeking the Congressional seat in California’s 26th District. Wilk has said that he supports Senator Strickland’s campaign for Congress personally and even offered the support of his campaigns infrastructure when needed. “I think Tony is a great fit for the 26th Congressional District and will help him wherever possible in his campaign,” Wilk stated.

Scott Wilk is a longtime resident of the Santa Clarita Valley. He is a husband, father, a small business owner and Santa Clarita Community District College Trustee.  The Signal Newspaper has honored Scott multiple times as one of the 51 most influential people in Santa Clarita Valley. Scott also serves on the Board of Directors of the Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital Foundation and on the Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce’s Legislative Committee.
