\"Photobucket\"<\/a>\"Photobucket\"<\/a>I attended a John Laird fundraiser in San Francisco today, which truth be told, are always some of the more enjoyable of these events.  Mostly because John is just one of the most unassuming, friendly guys you’ll ever meet. He works hard at his job, and takes his role in government very seriously. He works for his constituents by being available, and he does for the entire state.<\/p>\n

He was ultimately able to make this endorsement public today, and the room was pretty enthusiastic upon hearing the good news.  Apparently, John is the only candidate below Congressional level to get the President’s stamp of approval. Kudos to Team Laird for making it happen. These doorhangers are going out to voters<\/a> across the very long district. It runs from Santa Clara district in the North all the way down to Santa Barbara County.<\/p>\n

You can visit the John Laird website<\/a> for more information and ways you can help out. They are doing a nice virtual phonebank program if you can’t get down to the district.  But nothing replaces some good ol’ fashioned door-knocking, especially in a race that will be determined by turnout. So, if you can make a trip this weekend or next, I’d highly recommend it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
