2. I live in Harman's district
I am EAGERLY supporting Marcy for Congress. She's a local with deep ties to the harbor community. Met her at last year's Labor Day parade in Wilmington (the best local display of union pride you will see anywhere in SoCal). She's for REAL, and someone I am proud to support!
