The Krom campaign sent us the attached news item on her fundraising. She’s doing better than any other Democratic candidate in CD-48 and is gaining traction with conservative voters in Newport Beach who want congressional help to dredge Newport Harbor.Â
But we’d like to give a shout out to Rick Reiff for suggesting a TV debate between Krom and Rep. John Campbell on his show; something Krom’s fellow panelist Adam Probolsky told Krom “he’d advise (Campbell) against.” So does this mean the Republican strategy is for Campbell not to debate Krom? Shouldn’t Campbell have to come before voters and explain why his principled stance against earmarks — at $16-$18 billion on a federal budget of $3.6 trillioon (or as Matt Cunningham would say, “toenail clippings”) — and explain why he should be sent back to Washington to make sure we don’t get any federal dollars back in return for what we send to Washington?
The answer is simple: Campbell is afraid of her. Campbell can outraise with every quarter with PACs and his own bank account, but he’s only one vote. Krom’s strength in the district is found by large numbers of individuals who can and will vote for real representation in Washington.Â
Here’s Krom’s release:
