PDA Orange County Endorsement of Debbie Cook for Congress CA46

By Dr. Bill Honigman, PDA Orange County Chapter Leader
August 14, 2008, Huntington Beach, CA

PDA's Orange County, CA, Chapter met July 22 and voted unanimously to endorse Democratic Party nominee Debbie Cook CA46 in her race for Representative to the U.S. Congress. The Chapter vote was ratified later that week by the National PDA “Inside the Party” working group on our national conference call, again without objection.

Debbie Cook is an outstanding progressive Democrat, and as the current mayor of the city of Huntington Beach she has been an avid protector of our coastal environment. Moreover, she is a noted local authority on the topic of reducing dependence on fossil fuels and is a member of the board of directors of both the Post Carbon Institute and the Association for the Study of Peak Oil.

Cook considers reducing America’s dependence on fossil fuels an environmental and national security imperative.  

Along with many other National PDA-endorsed candidates for Congress, Debbie has signed on to “The Responsible Plan” for ending the U.S. occupation of Iraq. She believes that our country should care for our veterans by making sure that they are paid well for their service, that their medical needs are taken care of, and that they have opportunities to make a living and care for their families when they return from duty.

With the prospect of retiring one of the worst persons ever to hold governmental office, Dana Rohrabacher (a.k.a. Dana “War-backer”), the Debbie Cook campaign brings great hope for real representation to those who live in her district. Her race has been recently upgraded by the Cook Political Report (no relation), the first time an Orange County Congressional race has been upgraded since Loretta Sanchez’s victory in 1996 over “B-1 Bob” Dornan.
