www.WrongForCalifornia.com features
latest news stories and stat sheets on five California House Republicans
SACRAMENTO - The California Democratic
Party today unveiled a new website targeting vulnerable House Republican
incumbents running for re-election in California. The site
www.WrongForCalifornia.com features the latest news stories and stat sheets
exposing the voting records of five incumbent Republican House members seeking
re-election.
All five of the House Republicans
profiled on the site voted to end Medicare by siding with Paul Ryan and voting
for the House Republican budget. The five House Republicans featured on the
site are:
Dan Lungren (CA-07) - Lungren was first
elected to Congress in 1978, and now represents the east Sacramento suburbs. A
fixture in California political circles for decades, Lungren has ingratiated
himself to lobbyists and developed a brazen sense of entitlement over his many
years in Washington.
Jeff Denham (CA-10) - a member of the
freshman Tea Party class of 2010, Denham quickly became comfortable with the
trappings of power after arriving in Washington, D.C. So comfortable in fact
that he threw an $80,000 lobbyist bash and fundraiser for himself a full day
before he was officially sworn in as a member of the new Congress.
Mary Bono-Mack (CA-36) - Bono-Mack has
been taking care of her well-connected friends
in Washington and California since she made her way to Congress in 1998.
This year, she's carved out a role as Republican Presidential candidate Mitt
Romney's top female surrogatein California, defending the candidate's
retrograde positions on equal pay and contraception.
Gary Miller (CA-31) - Gary Miller
doesn't have many strong suits - the FBI investigated Miller for a series of
land transactions he used to dodge paying capital gains taxes - and was
recently caught goofing off on camera, fumbling through his campaign slogans
and frequently turning to his handlers for advice on how to appear authentic.
It's no surprise that Miller's new San Bernardino district will present a tough
challenge for the Orange County Republican.
Brian Bilbray (CA-52) - Brian Bilbray
has consistently sided with the most extreme elements of the House Republican
leadership, including voting for the Paul Ryan budget to end Medicare. As a
result of re-districting Bilbray finds himself in a less conservative district
and will no doubt spend considerable effort masking his Tea Party credentials.
"The battle to win back the House
begins and ends in California," said Tenoch Flores, communications director
for the California Democratic Party. "From siding with the Tea Party,
voting to end Medicare, to protecting tax cuts for billionaires and
millionaires, these Republican candidates are wrong for California. House
Republicans are in peril in the Golden State and we're confident 2012 will be
the year voters here decide they've had enough of the extremist Republican
agenda in Washington."
The site will serve as a clearinghouse
for news stories and up to the minute information on the candidates with frequent
updates and guest bloggers as well.
