Michael Eggman for Congress

In the Race for CA-10, Harder’s the One

May 28, 2018 By Eric Caine 1 Comment

Turlock native son Josh Harder has suddenly become a target for supporters of other candidates, especially those who favor Sue Zwahlen and Michael Eggman. It’s a sure sign Harder has broken away from the pack in California Congressional District 10 (CA-10), where the crowded field also includes Virginia Madueno, Mike Barkley, and Republicans Jeff Denham and Ted Howze. Probably the most consistent theme in the attack letters appearing in local […]

Not a Debate, but a Democrat Suicide Pact

April 26, 2018 By Eric Caine 4 Comments

Even before Republican Ted Howze jumped into the mix, the campaign for California Congressional District 10 (CA-10) had more monkey wrenches than gears. Last night in Oakdale, Howze joined the five Democrats in the race in a happy chorus of agreement on everything from Jeff Denham’s poor job of representation to opposition to Governor Jerry Brown’s Twin Tunnels proposal. After the debate, an audience member jumped to his feet and […]

California Congressional District 10 Donor Numbers are In

April 23, 2018 By Steve Ringhoff 4 Comments

As we did after the year end Federal Election Commission filings, we look past the amount of money given to each candidate to find out how many INDIVIDUALS opened their wallets for their favorites. Methodology: The FEC filings list donations individually but some donors pony up a bit at a time, so there are duplications. So, we created a spread sheet and then filtered the list by unique last name. […]

Decency Rises at Congressional Debate

April 19, 2018 By Eric Caine 1 Comment

The “jungle primary” for California’s Congressional District 10 is starting to seem more like a death march. Last night, the five Democrats in the race and Republican Ted Howze seemed at times to be reading from the same script during a debate put on by the League of Women Voters at Modesto’s City Council Chambers. Howze did distinguish himself as a Republican by claiming, “Tax cuts can work if they’re […]

Harder Rolls Big Bucks Over First Quarter

April 16, 2018 By Steve Ringhoff 1 Comment

Below, Steve Ringhoff, of Modesto Explained, offers a concise and revealing summary of candidate fund raising for California’s District 10 Congressional Campaign during this year’s first quarter. Democrat Josh Harder out raised all other democratic challengers during the first three months of 2018, including Michael Eggman, who one wag dubbed the “incumbent Democratic challenger.” Harder also brought more into his treasury during that period from individual contributions than the actual […]

When Five Democrats Equal Two Republicans

April 10, 2018 By Eric Caine Leave a Comment

News that Ted Howze has already amassed $256,946 for his campaign in California’s Congressional District 10 (CA-10) rocked Democratic insiders like a rare San Joaquin Valley earthquake. Howze’s late entry was initially treated as frivolous, but now the prospect of a two Republican runoff has many Democrats increasingly fretful. It’s a strong message that Democratic voters need to take their eyes off the primary and look hard at the general […]

Josh Harder: The Kid Who Came Back

March 22, 2018 By Eric Caine 2 Comments

For decades, valley citizens have been lamenting the exodus of their children to distant locations. “We have to make our cities more attractive so our kids will want to come back here and live,” they say. But still the kids leave and don’t come back. The exodus of the valley’s best and brightest young people is no mystery. Over the years, a dark shadow has fallen across a region that […]

Four Questions for CA-10 Democrats

March 17, 2018 By Eric Caine 5 Comments

When Dotty Nygard dropped out of the race for Congressional District 10 (CA-10) on March 9, she left a gaping hole in the hearts of local Democrats. In many ways, Nygard exemplified the ideal candidate. Her sincerity and devotion to others were unquestionable, and her Democratic ideals of justice for all were based on the most enduring party fundamentals. But Nygard’s greatest strengths were also weaknesses. Her sincerity often resulted […]

Cox Upends CA-10, Switches to CA-21

March 4, 2018 By Eric Caine 2 Comments

In a stunning move dictated by political realities in the San Joaquin Valley, TJ Cox has switched his campaign from California’s Congressional District 10 (CA-10) to Congressional District 21 (CA-21). Cox’s move was almost certainly prompted by  upheavals in both districts: (1) Michael Eggman’s late entry into the race for CA-10 and (2) Emilio Huerta’s withdrawal from the race for CA-21. Democrats in CA-21 have grown increasingly frustrated by losses […]
