Darrell Issa Endorses Jim Righeimer

This just came over the transom from the Jim Righeimer for Assembly campaign:

Congressman Darrell Issa Endorses Righeimer in the 68th

Local GOP planning for coming battle with unions

Fountain Valley -- Today, popular Congressman Darrell Issa endorsed Jim Righeimer for the 68th Assembly District, while the local GOP continues to prepare to defend Righeimer from the expected union attacks.

"As the father of the recall, Darrell is a state-wide leader, and he understands how important it is for Republicans to standup to union pressure," said campaign spokesman Chad Morgan.  "We fully expect the big labor unions to attack Jim again because of his involvement in the initiative to give union employees the right to exempt themselves from political contributions."

"Fortunately for us, the 68th is now one of the most Republican seats in the state, and voters will quickly figure out what the unions are trying to do," added Morgan.

Congressman Issa joins Congressman Dana Rohrabacher, State Senators Dennis Hollingsworth and Bill Morrow, and State Assembly Members Chuck DeVore, Mimi Walters, Ray Haynes, Dennis Mountjoy, and Mike Villines in endorsing Righeimer.

Jim Righeimer is a successful independent businessman who has been a key player in securing victories for Republican candidates in and around Orange County.  He is currently a member of the Orange County Housing Commission.

Righeimer is a conservative hero. He has put more blood, sweat and tears into furthering the conservative cause than most Orange County politicos ever have or ever will. Jim Righeimer will make an outstanding Assemblyman. Kudos to Darrell Issa.

This is an excellent endorsement for the Righeimer Team! There's not that many partisan elected officials left in the OC that Janet can court.

There are a couple: Lynn Daucher and Tom Harman are examples.

Issa has smart people working for him, like his COS Dale Neugebauer in DC, who really know Orange County politics. Neugebauer is a hard right movement consertative who has much histoy with the young OC wingers of the late 1980's such as Righeimer, Fleischman, Cunningham, Ury, Whitaker, Flint and a host of others who are now on the verge of running the show.
