Amanda Renteria for Congress [View all]

[NBachers]

Amanda Renteria is running for Congress in California's 21st District, in the Central Valley's Fresno and Tulare Counties. We need Amanda in the House; we need to dump her teabag opponent.

Amanda is an impressive, eminently qualified and experienced candidate.

Her bio is here: http://amandarenteria.com/Amanda-Renteria-Bio.pdf She is a dream candidate; we can help put her into the House and be proud of her.

Here's what Emily's List has to say about her opponent:

"Freshman Tea Party Rep. David Valadao is not only a typical Republican obstructionist, he seems dangerously clueless about what the 21st needs – the district’s unemployment rate is above California’s average, and more than a quarter of its families live below the poverty line. Valadao vocally criticized the federal stimulus package, which funded more than $15 million in water projects in the district, and voted against the California DREAM Act. He supported a restrictive 2011 Voter ID bill and voted twice against requiring insurance companies to provide maternity coverage. In Congress he’s backed multiple radical, anti-choice bills while coming under fire for failing to divulge his personal, financial interest in a high-speed rail project."
