Redlands Council Candidate Layne Touts Union, Realtor Endorsements

Layne is one of six candidates running for two seats on the Redlands council.

Redlands City Council candidate Michael Layne has been endorsed by the Inland Valleys Association of Realtors, the Redlands Professional Firefighters Association, and the General Employees Association of Redlands, his campaign announced Wednesday.

The unions and the realtors association endorsed Layne because they believe in his commitment to making the community better, Layne's staff said in a statement.
