Volunteer Amy Hunz just sent out the following, advocating for Dan Monte for State Assembly in Sonoma and Marin counties. Dan was at the fun, educational, and well-attended Wacco picnic yesterday. Amy below and Dan himself make some important points. Please note all the progressive persons and groups endorsing him.
Dear Friends,
We now have less than one month until the election! People are getting their voter information in the mail and actively considering who to vote for, especially in our State Assembly race, which as you know, features two very different Democrats. So in order to reach as many people as possible with Dan’s progressive message during this critical period of time, I have prepared an email below for you to forward to your friends, family and neighbors.
Please take a couple of minutes right now—or in the next 24 hours—to send this email to as many people as you can think of among your personal contacts who live in Marin and Sonoma Counties. Feel free to make edits or just send it as it is.
Let’s get Dan elected!
Thanks so much, Amy Humz
Dear Friends,
Like me, you may be opening your Voter Information Guide and wondering who some of the candidates are. I need to tell you about a very important race that hasn't gotten much press. We have a real choice right now to elect a progressive Democrat who has pledged NOT to take corporate donations to represent us in the California State Assembly. His name is Dan Monte.
Who is Dan Monte?
Dan Monte is running for State Assemblyto represent Marin and Sonoma counties. He is a longtime social justice activist who is deeply rooted in the community and has been on the frontlines of progressive politics for many decades.There are two candidates in this race, and Dan Monte is the ONLY one who has pledged NOT to accept corporate donations. He is running a people-powered campaign, focused on pushing California rapidly toward 100% renewable energy, strong climate protection policies, ensuring guaranteed healthcare for everyone in our state, getting big money out of politics, supporting quality public education, and other progressive goals supported by the vast majority of people in our district.
You can help us win real progressive representation this November by forwarding this email to your friends, family and neighbors in Marin and Sonoma Counties.
What is the Difference between Dan Monte and Incumbent Marc Levine?
1) Dan Monte is a progressive Democrat who is not taking donations from corporations or billionaires. Marc Levine has taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from corporate interests, including the fossil fuel industry, Big Pharma, Big Ag, Big Developers, and billionaire charter school advocates.
2) Dan is committed to achieving guaranteed healthcare for all Californians through a single-payer system. Levine helped kill the bill (SB 562) that would have implemented such a system last year.
3) Dan supports equal overtime pay for farmworkers. Levine voted against it.
4) Levine has joined other elected officials widely considered "Democrats in name only" in endorsing a big money Republican to be mayor of Petaluma over the other viable candidate, a Democrat (the very experienced, effective 3-term city council member Teresa Barrett.)
