Continues to Field Unanimous Support Among Local Press Outlets

SAN PEDRO, CA— Congresswoman Janice Hahn was endorsed today by the harbor area’s oldest independent newspaper, Random Lengths, adding to her perfect record in newspaper endorsements thus far in the campaign. This endorsement comes on the heels of endorsements last week from the Los Angeles Times, Daily Breeze, Long Beach Press-Telegram, and the LA Daily News.

James Allen, publisher of the Random Lengths, wrote the following in announcing the papers endorsement:

“I am with this editorial fully and unequivocally endorsing Janice Hahn returning her to Congress to represent the new 44^th Congressional district. I have chosen to do this not for the many reasons that others have previously voiced–her support for union workers, or her stance on women’s rights, gay rights and equity under our laws for all–but for something quite unique to this newspaper. Hahn is the only person besides myself who seems to garner the ire of certain right-wing letter writing critics to this publication, which in my mind means that over and above everything I agree with her on politically, she must be doing something else right! …….

So yes I endorse Janice Hahn for congress, precisely because she has been criticized by certain right-wing letter-writing tea-bag sympathizers, because she has stood her ground where it really mattered and because she unequivocally understands which side of the class divide she represents, and she occasionally will respond to some critics. I have urged her to do it more often, you should too. So for all of those who mutter some sotto voce uncertainties about “Janice not being perfect” I’d like to suggest that this is why she accurately represents this district which for all of its assets is so much less than perfect. It’s one of those things in life that makes you work harder, an example we all might like to emulate.”

The paper has a circulation of over 60,000, and has been publishing for over three decades. To view the article, visit: http://www.randomlengthsnews.com/

“Random Lengths is an important source of news for many residents of the Pedro, Wilmington, and harbor community. With this endorsement, Random Lengths is vocalizing what voters I’ve talked to all across this district think: our Ports hold a key to prosperity, to job creation, and to innovation.” said Congresswoman Hahn, “I’m glad to have support from such a broad range of newspapers, community leaders, and organizations as I attempt to get this message out throughout the district.”

Congresswoman Hahn has racked up an impressive list of endorsements including Compton-based California State Assemblyman Isadore Hall, the LA County Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO, former Congresswoman Diane Watson, the California Democratic Party, and California State Assemblyman and California Latino Legislative Caucus Chair Ricardo Lara, as well as California Assembly Speaker John A. Pérez.

Janice Hahn Wins ‘Grand Slam’ Endorsement with Announcement that Los Angeles’ Largest Newspaper is Backing her Campaign

SAN PEDRO, CA— Coming on the heels of her endorsements from the Daily Breeze, Long Beach Press-Telegram, and the LA Daily News newspapers, as well as California Assembly Speaker John A. Pérez, today the Los Angeles Times threw their full support behind her re-election campaign.

“…The Times endorses Hahn,” said the Los Angeles Times. “Hahn arrived in Washington less than a year ago after winning a special election to fill the seat left vacant by Jane Harman‘s retirement in the 36th District. Though a freshman, she is no political novice. Not only is she the daughter of a former Los Angeles County supervisor and the sister of a former L.A. mayor, but she served three terms on the Los Angeles City Council and proved herself a capable advocate for voters. She is a committed environmentalist and a strong advocate for the poor. Though she has sometimes marched in lock-step with labor on proposals that this page has opposed — such as the portion of the Clean Truck Program that would have made it difficult for independent truckers to operate at the Port of L.A. — she has devoted herself to the communities she represents and is skillful at working across the aisle to get things done… Residents of the 44th District deserve a representative whose attention and energies will be spent fighting for them, not fending off inquiries and allegations.”

Today’s endorsement adds to Congresswoman Hahn’s impressive list of endorsements including Compton-based California State Assemblyman Isadore Hall, the LA County Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO, former Congresswoman Diane Watson, the California Democratic Party, and California State Assemblyman and California Latino Legislative Caucus Chair Ricardo Lara.

SAN PEDRO, CA— The Daily Breeze, Long Beach Press-Telegram, and the LA Daily News newspapers today endorsed Congresswoman Janice Hahn’s re-election efforts, a move indicative of the ever-growing vibrancy and momentum that has characterized Hahn’s campaign for Congress.

“Rep. Janice Hahn went to Washington last July with a purpose and a plan. She aimed to bring congressional attention to issues affecting Los Angeles County’s — and the nation’s — vital sea ports. And she aimed to use that potentially bipartisan issue to help to heal rifts between House Democrats and Republicans,” the three papers persuasively averred. “Hahn has come in with a clean slate and has shown good instincts for serving her district’s particular interests while making a mark in Washington; she deserves a chance to fulfill this early promise. We endorse Janice Hahn for election in the 44th District.”

The three papers are a part of the L.A. News Group, which issues endorsements jointly between all of its papers, and reaches over one million readers per day.  Collectively, L.A. News Group has a wider circulation than any single local newspaper in the United States.
