PDA metro-San Diego President's remarks:

"Vickie generated much excitement among those present as she spoke against the war and for universal health care, election reform, and ending poverty. She plans to join the Congressional Progressive Caucus next January.

Vickie easily won the endorsement and is genuinely pleased to have the Metro chapter's support. A true progressive in every sense, she faces three candidates in the CA 52 Democratic primary on June 3, none of whom sought the endorsement.

California's Congressional District 52 is in transition from red to blue, with a mix of very conservative voters, moderates and progressives. Randy "Duke" Cunningham's old pal and war hawk, Duncan Hunter, currently holds the seat. Hunter is retiring this year, and his son Duncan D. Hunter is running in the Republican primary to fill his father's open seat.

Vickie's strongest Democratic challenger is Mike Lumpkin, a former U.S. Navy Seal who takes positions adverse to PDA's progressive agenda. He spoke at our December meeting and appears to be closely aligned with the junior Hunter's militarism. As such, they offer the voters of District 52 no clear choice. Vickie is a distinct alternative to Hunter and Lumpkin, championing a progressive platform which is gaining resounding support all over the country today."
