Jerry McNerney

"As an engineer and renewable energy specialist, Mr. McNerney brings considerable expertise on key issues to Congress. As Congress makes important decisions that will affect the future of American energy policy for generations to come, Mr. McNerney is well prepared for the task.

In addition to his commitment to renewable energy, Mr. McNerney supports strengthening important public health protections, such as the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts. He also clearly understands that global warming is a threat – and supports legislation to reduce global warming emissions.

Jerry McNerney said, "My opponent, Rich Pombo has received more than $400,000 from Big Oil. My campaign is powered by people who care, people like the folks in the League of Conservation Voters. I am proud to have their important endorsement." (source)

"More than 150 volunteers canvassed nearly 10,000 households in Pleasanton, Dublin, San Ramon, Danville, and Stockton for Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund's "Defeat Pombo Day of Action" on Saturday, September 16." (source)

""Pombo's extreme anti-conservation record, including recently siding with oil companies to try to open California coasts to irresponsible offshore drilling, his consistent rubber-stamping of Bush's failed Iraq War policies, and his earned reputation as 'One of the 13 Most Corrupt Members of Congress' has galvanized unprecedented volunteer political activism to retire him in November among many who live in and around his district," said Ed Yoon, the Campaign Manager for Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund.

There will be two other major Defeat Pombo Day of Action: Saturdays, October 7 and October 28. Areas being targeted for those subsequent Days of Action are to be determined." (source)
