CA-21 in Play in 2014

The Seat is currently held by freshman David Valadao (R); however, there's going to be a challenger -- Amanda Renteria (D). She's got a pretty impressive resume -- graduate of Stanford and Harvard, she worked with Senator Dianne Feinstein in California and with Rep. Debbie Stabinow in Michigan.

Here's more information:
"In addition to her high-flying résumé, Renteria is running in a district where 73% of the 712,866 residents are counted as Hispanic or Latino, according to Census Bureau records." (Renteria is Hispanic)

'Democrats also enjoy a 47%-32% voter registration advantage over Republicans in the district, which includes all of Kings and parts of Kern, Tulare and Fresno counties on the Valley's west side.'

This one's in play and we need some outside money to battle the BIG bucks being sent Valadao's way. When November comes around, maybe some of you could see your way to some donations. I'll be volunteering for her campaign but I'm trying to get awareness going early on this one.

I've been looking for a flippable seat in California to support. Jeff Denham Ca-10th has been bandied about as being one of the weaker seats, but Ca-21 now looks like the one to watch. Hell, let's flip both seats. Jose Hernandez, please pick up the nearest white courtesy telephone.
