By Lisa Vorderbrueggen, Contra Costa Times, 10/15/09 Ooops. A campaign mailer from 10th Congressional District candidate and Democrat Lt. Gov. John Garamendi that hit mailboxes today contained a reference to a quote from the wrong guy. The Garamendi mailer states that his Republican challenger David Harmer supports off shoring jobs and cites a story from the Utahs Deseret News from April 23, 2004. Unfortunately for Garamendis opposition research team, the story quotes the David Harmer who was executive director of the Utah State Department of Community and Economic Development. The David Harmer who is running against Garamendi never held that job and wasnt living in This is a huge error on Garmendis part, said Harmer campaign manager Mike Caporusso. Garamendi has mailed a completely false and inaccurate charge against David Harmer, and we demand he immediately apologize and retract his smear attack. UPDATED 7:30 AM TO ADD GARAMENDI RESPONSE: In response to the error, Garamendi said , The important point is that David Harmer opposes President Obamas efforts to create jobs in the 10th congressional district, provide for our schools and children, repair our roads and highways, deliver much needed medical services, and fund research programs. The bottom line is that David Harmers positions are just out of touch with the people of the 10th congressional district. Huge might be a bit of an overstatement, but Caporusso is Harmers campaign manager. What else would you expect him to say? And the Harmer New Comment |
