David Dreier's Endorsements
Why won't anyone endorse anyone?

I've previously examined the (lack of) endorsements received by Cynthia Matthews and Ed Laning. To recap, Ed Laning was endorsed by one sitting Member of Congress; Matthews was endorsed by none.

I fully expected that powerful David Dreier would have lined up tons of endorsements from House members, Senators, our Governor, and probably the President. Well, here's the list of Members of Congress who have endorsed David Dreier:





Um, OK. Well, how about the endorsements from state governors born in Austria?





OK. How about state assembly members, state senators, and county supervisors:

California State Senator Jim Brulte
California State Assemblyman Dennis Mountjoy
California State Senator Bob Margett
California State Assemblyman Bob Pacheco

San Bernardino County Supervisor
Paul Biane
San Bernardino County Supervisor
Patti Aguiar
San Bernardino County Supervisor
Bill Postmus
Los Angeles County Supervisor
Michael Antonovich


All of the other endorsements are from city officials.

Perhaps I'm naive, but you'd think that a high ranking Republican could secure 200 endorsements from House members. Guess each House member is too worried about his/her own turf.
