Howard is Tenacious. He is smart. He is effective...that's why I am with Howard.
Honorable Dianne Feinstein • Senator • California
My wife Betsy and I are proud to endorse your candidacy for the newly created 30th Congressional District in the southern and western San Fernando Valley.
The stakes in the upcoming election are incredibly high. We must reclaim our government from those who would deliver the great wealth of our nation to the privileged few by reaffirming our commitment to building a society and economy that offers the opportunity to achieve and prosper to all who are willing to work hard and sacrifice. Returning the House of Representatives to the moderates and progressives is the key to this important election.
