Something that needs attention next time, because this corrupt jerk has to be ejected.
http://www.richardpombo.com/11cd.htmCalifornia's recent redistricting process has brought the 11th Congressional District to the Bay Area. The new district now includes portions of Alameda, Contra Costa, San Joaquin, and Santa Clara Counties. Some of the largest populations in this seat include Danville, Lodi, Pleasanton, Tracy, Stockton, & Morgan Hill.
Under the newly drawn district, George W. Bush defeated Al Gore by 8 points. The registration in the new seat shows that Republicans lead the Democrats 46% to 39%.
This new Republican strength showed up during the 2002 General, when Congressman Richard Pombo gained over 35,000 more votes than his Democratic opponent - 21% more votes. Moreover, East Bay and Central Valley Democrats and Independents have a long history of crossover voting. As evidenced by George W. Bush's a convincing eight-point victory over Al Gore in this district.
