4th time isn’t the charm for DCCC in CA-21

November 18, 2015

CA21 failIn another crushing blow to the DCCC, Andrae Gonzales has decided not to run in California’s 21st Congressional District, despite being heavily recruited by national Democrats. This is the – wait for it – FOURTH public recruiting failure for the DCCC in this district alone.

Amanda Renteria declined. Juan Arambula declined. Connie Perez dropped out after less than a month on the trail. Now it’s Andrea’s turn to crush the DCCC’s dreams in CA-21. After back-to-back double digit defeats here, it looks like 3rd tier candidate Daniel Parra is the only person willing to be the Democrats’ sacrificial lamb in 2016.

“After four public rejections in CA-21, it’s time for the DCCC to acknowledge that they are stuck with 3rd tier candidate Daniel Parra- the only Democrat in the race and the one person who they didn’t want to run. After back-to-back double digit losses here, Democrats should prepare themselves for another rough election night in 2016.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Hunter
