Diane Harkey: I'm Running!

Let me introduce myself. I am Diane Harkey and I am running for U.S. Congress because I've seen firsthand the need to reform the way government works, and more importantly the way it thinks.

I'll be frank: taxes are way too high, big government bureaucrats are wasteful, and our economy is crippled by overregulation.

After living California for over thirty-five years and serving as Chairwoman of Board of Equalization, I witnessed in ways large and small how government regulation can hinder or halt the very growth it claims to encourage.

Robbing Peter to pay Paul does not "grow" the economy. And dependency on government largess certainly does not "rescue" the poor from poverty.

It just attracts more government waste and prevents self-sufficiency and upward mobility.

I am running because I know that we cannot afford to send another Democrat — who espouses the same failed policies that have so burdened Californians — to Washington to implement those policies on a national level.

As you know, the Republican majority in the House is narrow and the balance of power could come down to who wins this race. We've made serious strides in Washington over the last year, and we can't afford to let them slip through our grasp now.

I am proud to have the support of Congressman Darrell Issa and Congresswoman Mimi Walters, who both know what it takes to get things done in Washington and how critical it is that we hold this seat.

Can I count on your support as we start this battle? Your contribution today will go directly toward laying the groundwork for a successful campaign.

If you are as determined as I am to stop government overreach and send proven conservative voice to Congress, please make a small contribution of ANY AMOUNT today.

Sincerely,

Diane Harkey

P.S. Arthur, the race for CA-49 is predicted to me the closest in the nation. The national Democrat machine has been funneling money and activists here for over a year — and we have just now started raising money. We have serious ground to catch up on and I am counting on your help. Thanks, Diane.
