We are just so excited to share that the Tracy Press endorsed Jerry this morning!
Here are some excerpts from their glowing editorial:
Why do we endorse the freshman congressman this time around, when two years ago we backed Pombo?
He’s a moderate...and he’s independent enough to stick his neck out to support bipartisan efforts...
He posts his entire list of earmarks on his Web site and doesn’t apologize for trying to bring as much money back to our district as possible. After all, Californians send plenty more to Washington in federal taxes than the state receives in federal expenditures.
He listens to his constituents and has been highly visible in the district, returning home all but three weekends since he took office and hosting 45 Congress at Your Corner events.
He refused to vote for President Bush’s open-ended Iraq war policy. During the Tracy Press’ Oct. 11 candidates forum, Andal had the audacity to call him “immoral”...There’s nothing immoral about supporting a timed withdrawal from Iraq, disagreeing with the president and advocating for veterans benefits, as McNerney has.
You can read the full endorsement here. The Tracy press joins the Stockton Record, Lodi News-Sentinel, Morgan Hill Times, Danville Weekly, and McNerney's hometown Pleasanton Weekly in endorsing the Congressman's campaign.
