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.

I grew up with Janice, and it was apparent from an early age that she had inherited her father’s powerful sense of justice and fairness,” said Parker, who is also Vice-Chairman of the LA County Democratic Party, Region 1. “Janice has been a voice for the disenfranchised, a leader in the community, and a personal friend for many years. Her work in keeping kids in school, and out of gangs, has changed the lives of so many people, and I am glad to lend my support to her re-election campaign for Congress.”

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.”

“The Los Angeles Times’ endorsement is a major win for my campaign,” said Congresswoman Hahn. “I am honored to have their support and will proudly carry their banner with me throughout my campaign and all the way back to Washington.”

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.

“I am glad to have earned the confidence of these important and vital newspapers who have been covering this race, and to have received this endorsement for substantive policy reasons,” said Congresswoman Hahn. “These endorsements are another avenue through which I can get my message out about my plans to bring good, sustainable jobs back to our community.”

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— Edging out her opponent in the race for key endorsements yet again, today Congresswoman Janice Hahn secured a valuable endorsement from the Stonewall Democratic Club, in her re-election bid.

“We are proud to announce our overwhelming support of Congresswoman Janice Hahn’s re-election campaign,” said Stephen David Simon, President of Stonewall Democratic Club. “Janice has proven herself as a tireless advocate for equality, social and economic justice, and civil rights for all Americans.  And, she’s been an outspoken and fierce defender against the extreme right-wing’s war on women. That’s why we look forward to doing everything we can to ensure she gets re-elected to Congress so that she can continue fighting every day for the issues we care about.”

“I am delighted to have the support of the Stonewall Democratic Club,” said Congresswoman Hahn. “This campaign will be won by communicating my message and talking with voters all across this district. Having this endorsement adds to my campaign’s growing army of volunteers. These volunteers are key to helping my campaign make phone calls and knock on doors, in order to reach out to voters and talk to them about my plans to rebuild our economy, fix our schools, and ensure safe neighborhoods.”

Founded in 1975, the Stonewall Democratic Club was established as a club where the LGBT community and its straight allies could work within the Democratic Party to achieve equality for all and advance progressive and feminist values.  The club is one of the largest and most influential in Los Angeles County.

The Los Angeles Police Protective League (LAPPL) represents over 9,900 dedicated and professional sworn members of the Los Angeles Police Department, and their formidable endorsement showcases Congresswoman Hahn’s wide-ranging support from law enforcement and public safety groups.

“LA’s law enforcement officers need members of Congress that we can count on to advocate for increased investments in public safety and new technologies that can assist in our battle to fight crime and protect the public,” said Tyler Izen, President of LAPPL. “Congresswoman Janice Hahn has been a firm partner of LAPD officers throughout her career, and we know that we can always count on her to support and deliver results for our members.

SAN PEDRO, CA- Congresswoman Janice Hahn has continued to strengthen her re-election bid to fill California’s new 44^th Congressional District, and today her campaign announced that she raised a whopping $209,800 for the quarter ending on March 31, 2012.

Congresswoman Hahn has a history of being a successful fundraiser, most notably in her recent Special Election to Congress, where she raised an impressive $1.5 million. Additionally, Hahn has outraised Richardson in the total amount raised for the 2012 cycle, even though Hahn began raising for this cycle many months after Richardson, as a result of her Special Election.

To date, Congresswoman Hahn has raised $431,372 for her re-election campaign, while Richardson has only brought in $394,302.

“Bringing people together and building consensus is in Janice Hahn’s blood. She’s done it as an LA City Councilwoman and as a member of Congress.  Now she’s become the consensus candidate in the new 44^th Congressional District.  In addition to fundraising, Congresswoman Hahn has built an impressive and diverse coalition of support from well-known and iconic leaders throughout this district.   She is outperforming her opponent by every measure of a campaign’s success,” said John Shallman, Hahn Campaign Senior Strategist and Chief Consultant.

Beyond fundraising, Congresswoman Hahn has firmly cemented herself as the strong frontrunner in the race because of her sustained momentum and her vast list of endorsements, including: the California Democratic Party (CDP); Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO; California Labor Federation; Compton-base California State Assemblyman Isadore Hall; former Congresswoman Diane Watson; and California State Assemblyman and California Latino Legislative Caucus Chair Ricardo Lara.

SAN PEDRO, CA— In an unprecedented and unusually strong showing of support in a member-versus-member Congressional race, today Congresswoman Hahn has continued to skyrocket past her opposition in the race for important endorsements with the announcement that the influential California Labor Federation was endorsing her re-election bid.

“Janice Hahn has always been a courageous, passionate and bold advocate for working people and the labor movement,” said California Labor Federation Executive Secretary-Treasurer Art Pulaski. “We are pleased to strongly back her re-election campaign because we know that she’ll continue to promote a pro-jobs, pro-middle-class, pro-worker agenda in Washington and in California’s new 44^th Congressional District.”

The California Labor Federation is made up of more than 1,200 unions, representing 2.1 million union members in manufacturing, retail, construction, hospitality, public sector, health care, entertainment and other industries across the state of California.

“Having the support of the California Labor Federation makes it unequivocally and abundantly clear that I am the labor candidate in this race,” said Congresswoman Hahn. “I am absolutely grateful for this endorsement and will proudly carry this banner with me throughout this campaign and all the way back to Washington.”

Earlier this week Congresswoman Hahn won a highly coveted endorsement from an LA City Councilman representing LA’s 15^th Council District, Joe Buscaino, which encompasses much of the new 44^th district, as well as a forceful endorsement from ‘Sweet Alice’ Harris, an icon in the community of Watts.
