Letter: Brownley has been there for vets
Ventura County Star
After reading Mr. Nelson’s letter to the editor, I was disgusted.
Since Congresswoman Julia Brownley took office over eight years ago, she and her staff have worked for and on local veteran problems nonstop.
At the time Congresswoman Brownley took office, I was the President of the Vietnam Veterans of Ventura County (VVVC). I made it a point to meet with her and her staff to ensure that local veterans would have her support. As a result, I, along with other officers of the VVVC, have been the eyes and ears for the Congresswoman for local veterans as well as the care they were receiving at the Oxnard Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC).

Sedell was deputy city manager in Simi Valley when he first met Lagomarsino. He later worked in Washington, D.C., as Congressman Elton Gallegly s chief of staff. I spent four years with him back there, part of which was overlapping with Congressman Lagomarsino s term, he said.
Gallegly, who was first elected in 1986, said he worked shoulder to shoulder with Lagomarsino and called him both a very dear friend and a mentor.
