CA-50: DFA Endorses Ammar Campa-Najjar (D) In His Rematch To Unseat Duncan Hunter (R)
Received this e-mail today from Democracy for America:
We have huge news:DFA is officially endorsing Ammar Campa-Najjar for Congress.
Last year, DFA members helped Ammar come within 3 points of defeating Rep. Duncan Hunter in a district deep in Trump country.
He was a first-time candidate and a Latino Arab-American running to unseat a five-term Republican incumbent. He ran a grassroots campaign focused on people and refused all corporate PAC contributions.
When Duncan Hunter was indicted by a federal grand jury on 60 counts for allegedly spending $250,000 of campaign funds on personal expenses, he launched desperate, racist attack ads on Ammar in order to hold on to his seat.
Already, Hunter’s campaign isgoing back to the same playbookin order to distract from his corruption trial. They just launched more baseless smear attacks on Ammar.
Ammar is doubling down on a grassroots campaign focused on people. He’s leading the charge to get big money out of politics — and he is fighting for our shared progressive values.
DFA members are already getting to work powering Ammar’s campaign. Ammar needs us in his corner to counter these attacks and win big in 2020.
