a number of Democrats running besides
Bolanas, so the winner might not be a vet.

DEM VETS RUNNING AS CHALLENGERS
AGAINST INCUMBENT DEMOCRATS
|
|
WILSON, Mark for Senate
360-440-2576
|
USMC
|
WA-Senate
|
http://www.votemark.org/HomePage/Default.asp
Running against Senator Maria Cantwell (D). Wilson was
a Libertarian Party candidate for the House in 2002.
|
|
Richard A. "Noah" Hough II
|
USA
|
HI-01
|
www.houghforcongress.org
Running against Representative Neil Abercrombie
(D).
|
Selection criteria to be listed on Fighting-Dems
Muster Roll are as follows:
Anyone with valid military service (DD-214) who
is running as a Democrat is eligible, except in the following
circumstances:
-
A vet who is running against an incumbent
Democrat (Table III). See Endorsements.
-
A vet who is running against a candidate
endorsed by WesPAC, IAVA PAC or personal endorsements by Wesley Clark, Max
Cleland or VetPAC (Table IV).
Their service is honored and they are listed
here. If any of them are successful, he will have the support of
Fighting-Dems.com in the general election. In this crucial election year
when it is so important to take back the house, it is felt that running
against an incumbent is counterproductive, no matter how well-intentioned
the effort. In another election year, the circumstances might be different.
Supporting vets who have been endorsed by prominent individuals or respected
groups seems to be the best way to insure that Fighting Dems are elected to
office.
