Note to Egland campaign - this is your opponent that supports a withdrawal timetable... Not John Doolittle. Please fact-check and then re-focus.

First off - Mike Holmes got a major endorsement from a Green Republican group largely due to his opposition to development and of course that Auburn Dam.

A comment posted on the Placer CRA Blog recently from a Holmes supporter named Pieter Frederich:

As a Republican CD4 resident, I would MUCH rather see Mike Holmes in Congress.

Ted Gaines seems like a decent guy, and I voted for him. But he's only been in office a couple years, and the idea of him running for Congress so soon stinks of using the Assembly as a political stepping stone. To me it suggests he doesn't actually care about the district so much as he cares about his political career.

Holmes, on the other hand, is a retired veteran. It's obvious from his age and previous careers that he's not interested in running for Congress for political gain but rather to make a difference. Plus he supports an Iraq exit strategy, and that alone is enough for him to get my vote.

Here's your Republican who supports a withdrawal strategy... Mike Holmes.
