GASLAMP FUNDRAISER TO CAP WEEK OF ENDORSEMENTS FOR LUTZ CAMPAIGN

COUNCILWOMAN, CONGRESSMEN PAST AND PRESENT AGREE ON LUTZ

San Diego, Calif. (July 30, 2010) – “I really appreciate all this support from people who have seen my work,” said Ray Lutz, a 52-year-old activist, engineer and educator running as a Democrat to replace freshman Congressman Duncan D. Hunter in East County’s 52nd District. “Hunter follows in his father’s footsteps, and represents the worst of Bush-era extremism. Join with me to return sanity to this seat.”

Lutz is announcing endorsements from San Diego Congressman Bob Filner (CA-51) and former Congressman Jim Bates, who will be attending Lutz’s fundraising event this Friday.

Endorsements have also arrived from San Diego Councilwoman Marti Emerald, who represents District 7 of San Diego City, and Community Advocate and County Supervisor Candidate Stephen Whitburn, also attending Friday’s engagement.

Many other V.I.P.’s are expected at the event.

The fundraiser will take place today, July 30, 4-7pm, at the Tequila 100 Bar & Grill (756 5th Avenue) in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter. The event is open to the public, with a suggested donation of $25 (though no one will be turned away).
