Garamendi endorsements

[silverweb]

It's looking good for Garamendi for the 10th District:

San Francisco Chronicle: Lt. Gov. John Garamendi stands out in this crowd because his vast portfolio of experience is so well aligned with the issues of the times and the big concerns of the district.

Garamendi said he withdrew from the governor's race when this seat became open because "these are the issues I've spent my life on." Others might suggest his decision was conveniently pragmatic - his bid for the Democratic nomination was going nowhere - but there is no doubt about his qualifications for Congress, especially in this district. He was an aggressive and effective insurance commissioner (think health care, consumer issues such as foreclosure), deputy secretary of the U.S. Department of Interior (delta, climate change) and a state legislator from 1974 to 1991.

San Francisco Bay Guardian: Garamendi has an unmatched history of intensive work on the most pernicious problems that Congress is now wrestling with. And he is a strong advocate for single payer health care.

1. I was working the phone lines Thursday

and the responses were very positive. JG will be an excellent representative for the 10th District.

2. Wonderful!

I heard yesterday that he now also has the endorsement of the Contra Costa Times, which makes a "grand slam" from Bay Area newspapers. Unfortunately I don't have a link yet, but will look for it later.

He will be an excellent rep for the 10th!
