I live in Orange County, CA. I’m used to seeing scary Republicans that care nothing about environmental justice. But of all the crazy Republicans here, none can be crazier than “Crazy Dana” Rohrabacher. He’s consistently voted against the best interests of our people and our planet, and it’s time we do something about this. That’s why I’m so glad to see some good friends of ours take real action for real change.
Follow me after the flip for the details…
Here’s the big announcement from the California League of Conservation Voters (CLCV):
“We’re proud to support Debbie Cook because she has shown time and again her commitment to protecting our coastal resources,” said CLCV’s Southern California Director David Allgood. “Mayor Cook has a long record of achievement on environmental, public health and other issues important to the people of the 46th District.”
Huntington Beach Mayor & Democratic Congressional Candidate Debbie Cook has worked so hard to do so much to protect the California coastal environment. She successfully sued the state Coastal Commission to protect the ecologically sensitive Bolsa Chica Wetlands. She successfully convinced all the Republicans on the Huntington Beach City Council to join with all the Democrats on the council in unanimously agreeing to sign the city onto the US Mayors’ Climate Protection Agreement. And today, she’s working to stop a dangerous desalination plant that would harm the regional coastline while fueling more exurban sprawl.

Debbie Cook truly is the people’s environmental champion here in Orange County, CA. And if we elect her to Congress, she can be a champion for all of us. So will you please join the League of Conservation Voters in supporting Debbie Cook?
I’ve come to know Debbie Cook pretty well as I’ve helped out with the campaign. She’s the real deal. That’s why she’s earned my full support. I hope she can earn yours as well. 🙂
Hope you know what to do…

It’s about time
If this race pops up on the radar, it will happen around the first to middle part of October, just like CA-11 and CA-04.
But she would be an excellent congresswomen, a vast improvement over Dana Rohrabacher.
I’m wondering how well known she is outside of Huntington Beach? That might be the key to the race–the other two-thirds of the district.
I love to birdwatch, and thank you to Debbie, two of my favorite birding spots were saving from being paved over: The Bolsa Chica Wetlands, and Huntington Central Park. She is so amazing on environmental issues, it would be a shame if we missed this chance people. Great post Andrew, long time no see.
