Challenger goes after McClintock on tree mortality

Democrat Bob Derlet, of Sonora, will challenge Republican incumbent Rep. Tom McClintock, of Elk Grove, in California's GOP-leaning 4th Congressional District, which covers Tuolumne, Calaveras and five other Sierra foothill counties.

Tom McClintock of Roseville, issued a statement Friday questioning whether McClintock is "dodging" constituent concerns about the tree mortality crisis that has killed 66 million trees in the Sierra Nevada.
