On November 28, Governor Jerry Brown appointed Dr. Alex Sherriffs, Democrat, to the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District. Dr. Sherriffs replaces Dr. John Telles who resigned in June.  Dr. Sherriffs fills a seat on the board dedicated to a health professional.

In addition, Dr. Sherriffs will also take Dr. Telles position as a board member of the CA Air Resources Board as the Valley Air District's representative.  His appointments must be approved by the state Senate.

Dr. Sherriffs has been a physician in private practice in Fowler since the 1980s.  In the past, he was a clinical professor at the Fresno campus of the University of California at San Francisco and carries with him a long background in public health.

Valley Air District activists fought for a physician-dedicated position on the board for over five years.
