How To Help Deb Fudge

When Mike McGuire leaves his job as county supervisor to become a state senator, the progressive majority among supervisors leaves with him, unless we elect Deb Fudge to replace him. Her opponent, James Gore, is a former lobbyist for debt collection agencies, and he has been endorsed by every Republican corporate interest group in the county. 

The public service of Deb Fudge is well-known throughout the county and includes excellent terms as mayor of Windsor. At this stage Fudge is ahead by ten points, but Gore has collected all the money in the world (he knows how to do that), and we can expect to see an expertly polished smear campaign in October. Fudge will need help to counter the attack. In general Internet political comments have no impact on voting, but the 'net is useful in fundraising. You can send Fudge a contribution by googling "deb fudge for supervisor" and then going to her web site. I just did that.
