Bera Kicks Off Door-to-Door Campaign in Bid to Un-seat Lungren

Last Saturday the Bera for Congress Campaign kicked off their door-to-door canvassing efforts with a large rally at the campaign’s Elk Grove Headquarters. After speaking to his supporters, Dr. Bera and the crowd of volunteers spread out into Elk neighborhoods throughout the district, knocking on doors and meeting voters face-to-face.

“Our grassroots campaign has created a lot of momentum over the last few months,” said Dr. Bera. “It’s clear that our message of job creation, economic opportunity and new leadership is resonating with residents all over northern California.”

Participants included area residents active in the Bera for Congress Campaign, including Jonathan Wilson and Diane Campbell, both from Elk Grove.

“Canvassing for Dr. Bera was really fun,” said Jonathan Wilson, an 18-year old participant in the Bera campaign’s internship program. “After I heard Dr. Bera speak I was really inspired to get involved with his campaign, and when I told my neighbors what he believed in, getting them to vote for Dr. Bera was easy!”

Diane Campbell, also an Elk Grove resident, appreciated Dr. Bera’s commitment to restoring economic opportunity.

“I’ve lived in California almost all of my life, and I’m proud to volunteer my time to help Dr. Bera win this election,” she said. “I’m tired of career politicians like Dan Lungren bailing out Wall Street and protecting Big Oil – we need new leadership. I know Dr. Bera very well, and I’m convinced he has the right ideas to jumpstart our economy and bring jobs back to California.”
