The left comes home to Hahn

Janice Hahn continues to rally the liberal troops around her bid to become California's 36th District congresswoman.

Anti-war activist and former congressional candidate Marcy Winograd threw her support to Hahn in a statement, warning voters about GOP candidate Craig Huey's "right-wing extremist agenda."

“Make no mistake, Tea Party darling Craig Huey will seek to end Medicare as we know it, radically cut Social Security benefits, and let Wall Street run rampant once again,” said Winograd in the endorsement. “It’s all hands on deck now, and we need to work to defeat the right-wing extremist agenda and elect Janice Hahn to Congress.”

Earlier in the day, it was Howard Dean -- previously a supporter of Debra Bowen -- who climbed aboard the Hahn campaign, firing the same shot about "right-wing extremists."

"We can’t afford to send Tea Party darling, Craig Huey, to Washington," Dean said.

Since her first place finish in the jungle primary, Hahn has won the backing of Gov. Jerry Brown, Reps. Judy Chu, Henry Waxman and Howard Berman as well as Emily's List.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is scheduled to hold an event for Hahn on June 8.

Bowen has said she would not endorse in the race, citing her role in administering the July 12 election as Secretary of State.
