Moreno previously announced support from the Atascadero Police Association as well as local leaders like Supervisor Debbie Arnold, Supervisor John Peschong, and Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham (fmr).
Moreno is running for the District 5 seat on the Board of Supervisors, currently held by retiring Supervisor Debbie Arnold, and includes the City of Atascadero, part of the City of San Luis Obispo, and the unincorporated communities stretching to the county’s eastern border.
