Congressman Dan Lungren settled into Mel and Faye’s Diner in Jackson last Saturday evening for a meet and greet and question and answer session with local candidates and officials. More than 80 people attended, including many notable Republicans involved in local government. Three candidates for the board of Supervisor’s race -  John Plasse, John Gonsalvez, and David Pinkus – were all in attendance, as well as District 10 Assembly Candidates Dave Sander, Paul Hegyi and Jack Sieglock. A representative from Presidential candidate John McCain’s Campaign was also there and spoke to the group about McCain and his campaign issues. Lungren discussed international issues regarding national security as well as local issues and his recent series of town-hall conferences in the local area. He also spoke about his relationship with John McCain.
