Two Favors

For those out there that are DFA oriented, I have two candidates who deserve to receive the DFA Endorsement.

The first is David Loebsack who is running for Congress in the 2nd District of Iowa. Iowa-02 was 53-43 in 2000 and on paper is a strong pickup opportunity. The challenge is that Jim Leach holds the seat and he has a moderate voting record including the Sierra Club endorsement in at least one cycle. The problem is that Leach’s voting for a Republican leadership results in a lot of immoderate policies. David was my college advisor and and I consider him a good friend. He knows the challenge he is facing and it is a tough race to say the least. He needs the support of the grassroots and netroots so please fill out the form if you are so inclined.

David’s website is here and while I don’t want to start daily asks for money this far out, you can donate to himi through my Act Blue page linked on the right.

Secondly, an original Dean’s Dozen, Jeff Smith is running again, and this time for Missouri State Senate in the City of Saint Louis. Jeff ran a grassroots campaign that outperformed nearly all expectations and came very close to going to Congress in Dick Gephardt’s old seat. He’ll now be running for an open seat in the Missouri Senate–a place that desperately needs some energy after the Blunt administration’s repeated attacks on working families.
