Marin, Sonoma County, CA June 6, 2006 Election
Smart Voter Additional Endorsements for Mike Halliwell

Candidate for
United States Representative; District 6; Republican Party

This information is provided by the candidate

As a Sonoma County Republican Central Committee member who was appointed by our 2004 State Assembly nominee from Marin County, I respect the pre-primary "neutrality" rules of the Republican precinct organizations in both Counties. My opponent is new to politics and it would not be fair to seek endorsements based on personal association that others might interpret as being based on our relative qualifications. However, Republican candidates are autonomous and can support whichever potential nominee in a contested primary they think would make the strongest ticket for the general election. My three listed main endorsements are all going to be running in districts which overlap my congressional district in the November election (because they are the only ones valiant enough to attempt the steep climb represented by Democrat registration advantages of 2-1 or worse). I am also supported by the unopposed Republican who hopes to defeat the Democrat incumbent in the 7th AD (Raylene Wiesner). THUS EVERY REPUBLICAN STATE LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATE IN ANY PART OF MY 6TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT IS SUPPORTING MY CANDIDACY. This is not a derogation of my opponent's qualifications and we will all support him should he win the June 6 primary election. I believe that it is a recognition of my much greater experience and my poltical positions which are more attuned than his to the concerns of voters in our North Bay district (as judged by Republican candidates facing the task of putting together a viable political coalition).
