The Pasadena Star News is reporting tonight<\/a> that Santa Monica resident Marcy Winograd will officially enter the race to replace her long-time opponent Jane Harman.<\/p>\n

\n
Anti-war activist and progressive Democrat Marcy Winograd said Thursday that she’s planning a run for a soon-to-be-vacated South Bay congressional seat.<\/p>\n

An official announcement is scheduled to be made at 10 a.m. Saturday at Fox Drugs, 1327 El Prado Ave. in Torrance, Winograd said.<\/p>\n

Winograd, a Santa Monica resident, took 41 percent of the vote in last June’s 36th Congressional District primary against Rep. Jane Harman, who is expected to resign Monday to lead the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, a Washington think tank.<\/p>\n

Explaining her decision to run, Winograd said, “I feel that we need a real progressive in the race, somebody who has been advocating for a long, long time that we need to transition from a war economy to a green economy.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As I reported earlier, Janice Hahn’s campaign apparently baited Winograd into running,<\/a> hoping to split the progressive vote with Debra Bowen, a development which would benefit Hahn.<\/p>\n

A PCCC poll released earlier this week<\/a> between Bowen and Hahn put Bowen 4 points ahead. But an internal poll released by the Hahn campaign<\/a>, which included Winograd, put Hahn 5 points over Bowen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
