Oh No Ken, Bill Hedrick is coming again!
GOP Congressman Ken Calvert
Challenger Bill Hedrick
A good sign that a Congressional District is up for grabs is when the Washington campaign committees start spending early money in a district. Ken Calvert’s 44th Congressional District is receiving early attention from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee as it is running radio Ads against Calvert targeting his vote against the stimulus bill and the SCHIP legislation to increase medical coverage for poor and middle class children. From DCCC website with the text of the ad:
Children’s’ Health Care Ad
The following ad is the districts of Michele Bachmann (MN-06), Ken Calvert (CA-44), and Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-09):
Did you know Congressman Ken Calvert gets health care at taxpayers’ expense, but Calvert voted against health care for 11 million uninsured children? Times are tough, tell Ken Calvert to put families first.
This is good news for Bill Hedrick who ran in 2008 and I hear is gearing up for a rematch. Hedrick did not receive much help from Orange County Democrats last time. Perhaps there will be a bandwagon effect and folks will get off their duffs. Here is a link to his campaign website.
Marc,
I hope youre not trying to get a job with Hedrick. You have ruined any chances you have of getting a foothold back here in So California. You should go back to MInessota where you come from.
Chris Prevatt is no longer buying in the BS you, Phil Becerra and Ckaudio are seilling.
OC Shadow. The “spin” cycle is now in effect. Republican Congressman Ken Calvert receives health care?
No kidding. What about the other 434 members of the House of Representatives including Nancy Pelosi? Is he unique getting special treatment?
Although I have met Ken he is not my representative nor do I track his voting record.
As an incumbent, not impacted by any redistricting, his chances for reelection are very high. They will be even better if president Obama does not perform in the next 18 months.
We will simply need to wait and see won’t we????
Lsrry,
Your point is well taken, however the point of the post was to show the 44th is receiving early attention from DC because of how close the vote was in 2008.
Does anyone remember when Calvert was arrested for getting a bj from a hooker while sitting in his car in a Riverside shopping center, I can’t believe that buffoon is still in congress, what’s that tell you?
Hopefully it’s going to be a good opportunity for us to gain some more seats.
