Third place? Woo-hoo!

Thanks to you we finished third in the nation-wide DFA Grassroots All-Star contest!

Because of your effort we earned the national DFA endorsement, $5000 for our campaign, and the support of DFA as we head into the November election against corrupt incumbent Ken Calvert.

Thanks again!

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.—A major Democratic political action committee says it will give money and volunteer time to two California congressional candidates in competitive races.

Democracy for America on Tuesday named former Irvine mayor Beth Krom the winner of its online competition for funding. The Democrat is challenging Republican Rep. John Campbell in Orange County's 48th District, where the GOP has a 15-point registration advantage.

The PAC founded by former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean in 2004 will give Krom's campaign $5,000 and raise another $20,000 from its members.

DFA will also make a $5,000 contribution to Bill Hedrick, who is challenging 44th District Rep. Ken Calvert, a Republican.

More than 66,000 people voted on the DFA website from among candidates nationwide.
