John Garamendi received the endorsement of the Contra Costa Times<\/a> today. It’s basically the same stuff that they said back on the September 1 election. He’s experienced, he knows his stuff, he’ll have an impact. All stuff I can agree with.<\/p>\n

However, there is at least one thing to quibble about, specifically the part about Harmer in this quote:
\n<\/p>\n

Garamendi supports the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and a change in the law to allow same-sex couples to legally marry. Harmer has not taken strong positions on either.(CCT 10\/28\/09<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, if one were to peruse over to the SF Chronicle’s database of donors to Prop 8, you’d find one David Harmer of San Ramon having given $2200 to Yes on Prop 8<\/a>. I’m not sure how much stronger of a position somebody could make. He literally put his money where his opinion is. He steadfastly opposes equal marriage rights for same-sex couples.<\/p>\n

This isn’t really the reason that Garamendi got the endorsement of the moderate LGBT publication the Bay Area Reporter<\/a>, but it certainly must have a place in the conversation.  When it comes down to it, despite all the bizarre polling data Harmer puts out<\/a>, Garamendi will make a great Congressman for the 10th District.
