On Wednesday, Phil Angelides, the former chairman of the California Democratic Party said, “I want Dianne Feinstein in the crucible. I can’t think of anyone who is better equipped for these extraordinary times.”
Bill Chandler, the senator’s former state director and spokesman, will lead the new super PAC. Their goal is to raise funds for political advertisements and other media campaigns. In addition, the group wants to help explain why it is “important to keep Feinstein in Washington, D.C.”
He said, “This is a group that’s come together over the last couple of weeks…We’re excited to help ensure the senator return to Washington. We’re not going to take anything for granted.”
Feinstein failed to clinch Democratic Party’s endorsement
State Sen. Kevin de Léon is challenging Feinstein. During the Democratic Party’s convention this week, he criticized her as “out of touch.” Both candidates failed to secure the party’s endorsement.
Feinstein’s campaign team remains confident since the veteran senator has a huge war chest. Her longtime political strategist, Bill Carrick, said, “I think we’re in good shape. Nothing changed in the fundamentals.”
