A new group of Republicans that are supporting Democrat Hannah-Beth Jackson has formed.

Unlike the purported group of Democrats supporting Strickland this group has a long list of former party leaders and elected officials.

It might not have the cache of a Superdelegate but Republican Michael Tenenbaum has earned the endorsement of a former local elected official that represented Simi Valley for many years at the local and state level.

Can you guess who it is before you click on continue reading for a picture and press release?

UPDATE: Tenenbaum was out walking precincts as he ridiculed Rep. Gallegly's record on the environment.
