“Carl DeMaio has taken on the forces of big government and won.”
For immediate release – September 23, 2013
San Diego- TV and radio host Roger Hedgecock today became another endorsement for Carl DeMaio for Congress, citing DeMaio’s extensive history as leading the way for reforms in San Diego that are needed.
“DeMaio doesn’t just point out problems – he is a breath of fresh air in offering bold solutions,” said Hedgecock.
During his time on the San Diego City Council, DeMaio effectively led the way on many fiscal and government reforms, including putting an end to pension spiking, opening city services up to competitive bidding, cutting red tape on small businesses, and defeating the largest tax increase in the history of San Diego.
“In San Diego, DeMaio wrote the plan to save the city from bankruptcy – and while serving in the minority party of the City Council, DeMaio galvanized public pressure to get many of his reforms approved,” Hedgecock said.
Continuing on his plans as a government watchdog, DeMaio created a bold and ambitious “Fix Congress First” initiative to force Congress to live under the same laws that everyday Americans live under.
“The best part about Carl DeMaio is he is ready to take both political parties on in Washington, D.C. to force change,” said Hedgecock. “Carl DeMaio is truly exceptional in today’s political world because he has taken on the forces of big government and won – several times over!”
“I’m thankful for Roger’s endorsement. He clearly sees there are many issues we have to address in Washington, and he’s counting on leaders like me to bring reforms together like we’ve seen in San Diego, said DeMaio.
Hedgecock joins a growing number of endorsements, including from U.S. Congressman Tom McClintock, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, and local San Diego City Councilmembers Kevin Faulconer, Mark Kersey, and Scott Sherman.
