Mendes Named ‘Gas Tax Repeal Hero’
HANFORD, CA- Justin Mendes was listed as a “Gas Tax Repeal Hero”. The Yes on Prop 6 campaign has announced the elected officials and candidates that have helped in the fight to repeal the $52 billion gas and vehicle registration tax.

“The Yes on Prop 6 campaign is the perfect opportunity to push back and say no more. Cost of living in this state is the highest it has ever been and we need to be lifting this burden off of Central Valley families. We need a representative that does more than just push a button in Sacramento, we need a leader that will stand up and fight for the Central Valley” said Mendes when announcing the Yes on Prop 6 recognition.
Mendes, a valley native, was raised on a dairy farm. Staying true to his roots, he has remained a strong, reliable advocate for the Central Valley. Gaining Support from the Kings County Farm Bureau and Kern County Farm Bureau is a reminder that Justin truly understands the needs of the valley.
