Shasta County Supervisor Patrick Jones says charges filed against Red White and Blueprint co-founder Carlos Zapata will not hurt the effort to recall three other supervisors.
Jones has been a key player in attempting to recall supervisors Joe Chimenti, Leonard Moty and Mary Ricket by way of appearances at fundraisers and in a video produced by Red White and Blueprint.
