Dear Friends,

Thank you for visiting my campaign website.

Every presidential and congressional election in the United States is important, but the election of 2008 comes at a particularly crucial time for our country. At home and abroad, we face many serious challenges, any one of which, if not addressed, could adversely affect our nation’s well being. As we deal with current threats to our security and economic wellbeing, we must also look ahead to the future.

It is an honor to represent the people of California’s 44th Congressional District, and I hope that you will give me the opportunity to continue working in Washington to help meet the many challenges that our state and nation are facing.

Sincerely,
