Josh Harder is a tough competitor for Congressional District 10; The drive to defeat Denham is underway.

Josh Harder, (D), candidate for California's Congressional District 10 seat, which currently is held by GOP Congressman Jeff Denham, is a well-educated young man who has dedicated his life to serving others. In addition to serving as a management consultant to the Boston Consulting Group, Josh, who originally is from Turlock, has volunteered as an organizer of small farmers in Kenya and Uganda. The objective of that program, which was run through the Gates Foundation, was to enable farmers to produce more abundant and robust crop yields. Josh, who studied at Harvard Business and Kennedy School's MBA/MPP joint doctoral program, took an unpaid leave of absence from his career to help that objective come to fruition, and it did. 

Josh's top priorities

The following are Josh's top priorities as a candidate for Congress:

Healthcare: Josh is vehemently opposed to the Trump Administration's attempt to dismantle the Affordable Care Act. As Josh sees it, every American is entitled to affordable, sufficient  and superior quality medical coverage. Nobody should be labored with premiums, shares of cost or medical expenses that they cannot afford. In addition, nobody should lose their medical care if they lose their job and/or become poor, disabled or elderly. Jeff Denham has voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and he voted for the GOP's latest tax bill that totally eradicates the main tenets of the Affordable Care Act. When Josh is elected to Congress, he will fight to save the Affordable Care Act and to protect all the citizens of CD 10 that it covers.  He also will work hard to protect Medicare and to keep America's promise to take care of the medical needs of the elderly. And nobody will be left hanging without adequate medical care.

Medicaid: Unlike Denham, Josh does not support depleting medical care for the medically indigent. Josh realizes that such individuals deserve adequate medical care as do all Americans. LIke John F. Kennedy, Josh Harder realizes that the cost to any society that does not help the poor and indigent is greater than is the cost of helping them. Denham's vote stuffs the pockets of the rich who are paying for his re-election campaign.

The Dreamers and Immigration: Josh supports the Dreamers and their goal of becoming self-sufficient citizens and participants in the American Dream. He totally rejects Trump's efforts to deport the Dreamers, or to deny immigrants entry to the United States. Josh will not say "No" tens of thousands on Dreamers and undocumented immigrants in California. He realizes that the United States is a nation of immigrants and that it was the immigrants who made our country great. Unlike Denham, Josh sees Dreamers and immigrants as an intrinsically valuable resource to our country.

Jobs: Josh is aware of the fact that the Valley must attract major employers who pay well and provide good medical, dental and vision coverage for their employees. Josh will work hard with local city councils to attract major employers to CD 10. He also will work with job developers and with programs designed to train and mobilize manpower. Josh believes in the citizens of CD 10 and 15 to 20 percent unemployment is not acceptable to him. He will work hard so that you always work! 

100% Renewable energy: Josh fully supports The Sanders-Merkley Bill that calls for 100% renewable energy by the year 2050. Unlike Denham, Josh acknowledges the profuse existence of Global Warming and the dangers that it presents. In response to such awareness, Josh is one sensational advocate for the environment. His advocacy for the Sanders-Merkley Bill is a very positive outgrowth of this advocacy.

In conclusion….

In conclusion, it is this observer's very strong recommendation that the civic-minded, honest and hard-working citizens of California's CD 10 vote for and support Josh Harder. Let's send Jeff
Denham home and send the best qualified Congressional candidate in the entire region Josh Harder, to Washington, D.C. to protect all of us from the wanton greed of a few self-serving rich people.

Josh Harder for CD 10! A true winner for real people!!!
