I've been able to spend a lot of time talking to Greg, who is currently the Mayor of Redondo Beach, because he's been sort of residing in our office dialing for dollars...He's a really nice guy, who deeply loves this country and is a small businessman (Farmer's insurance) who has balanced 8 city budgets. He is EXACTLY the kind of man that we need up in Sacramento helping the Governor fix the mess that the Democrats have left...His opponent is a sleazy telemarketer (for Gray Davis no less) who's been sued by charities (for not giving them the money he was supposedly raising for them) and who's "business" has been shut down in several states.

Anyway, it's an extremely tight race because President Bush's numbers in his district are dismal (down 12 points) and people in the northern part of the district (i.e. Venice) are reluctant to vote for any Republican. He's slightly ahead in all the southern cities in the district but not enough to offset what's happening with the northern part.

So please, if you're in the 53rd district, please please please vote for Greg Hill and try to convince as many people in your neighborhood to do the same =) His campaign is also pretty desperate for money at this point (his opponent is loaded and has the benefit of his telemarketing company...), they'd really liek to be able to keep campaign ads and mailers going out right up until Nov. 2. So if you can help, I would really appreciate it, I know the Mayor would really appreciate and if all goes well, all of California will benefit.
