Who Stands With Audrey
Rich Ober
Chair, Butte County Democratic Central Committee
It is a great pleasure to give my wholehearted endorsement to Audrey Denney for Congress. Audrey is a tireless leader, a skilled and effective communicator, and a relentless advocate for Californian and American values. Audrey embodies the values of access for all to affordable healthcare, the right of women to make their own decisions about their bodies, every American’s ability to access healthy, affordable food, and the dignity of empowering people to love who they love and to be who they are. I have had the honor of working with Audrey in her lifelong efforts to improve and support food access around the country and especially here in Northern California. Her work in supporting and consulting with food pantries and food banks has meant that thousands of Californians have healthy food on their shelves. Audrey Denney has earned my vote and we need her voice in Congress. That’s why I’ve pledged never to accept corporate PAC contributions.
Gary McIntire
Lassen County Indivisible, Co-Chair
Audrey Denney is an authentic, determined leader with the knowledge and heart to solve our district’s real problems. Her deep commitment to wildfire prevention, rural climate action, and thriving economies shows she will fight for people, not special interests. We enthusiastically support Audrey to finally bring responsive, effective government to CA CD1.
Bapu Vaitla

Audrey Denney understands that family farms and sustainable agriculture are the backbone of California—nourishing our communities, strengthening our economy, and shaping our shared future. She brings the heart and vision we need to end hunger and build a food system rooted in fairness, stewardship, and community.
