Editor:

I am writing to introduce myself to the residents of Congressional District 10, which includes Antioch. I am a Dublin resident, husband and father of two, San Francisco investigator and longtime churchgoer. I am running for Congress because I believe it is time for everyday working people to take back the reins of power in Washington.

I’ve got a clear plan for bringing an activist agenda to Congress. I’ll fight to end the drug war, to bring our soldiers home, for equal federal rights for all citizens, and for labor protections in all trade deals. Big bank bailouts are bad business for all of us, and at the top of my agenda will be progressive economic reform to protect the working class.

Around District 10, you’ll hear my plans for turning the economy around for people like me and my family – people like you and your family – and for changing the American health care system and fully funding our public schools.

And I expect to hear from you. Your thoughts and ideas are as important as any citizen’s, so please share them. My e-mail is adriel@adrielhampton.com, and my cell phone is 925-895-3744. We are all in this together, and we get the government we are willing to fight for. Thank you.

Adriel Hampton, Congressional Candidate, Dublin
