Erik Lee Surprise Challenge to Fraser

Erik Lee (D) posts a surprise challenge to longtime incumbent Karen Fraser (D) in the 22nd Legislative District. Lee is challenging Fraser for the State Senate seat in that district. Both Democrats will advance to the general because of our new top-two primary system. Lee recently had an epiphany and said:

"I just decided that supporting small business is the best possible way of keeping the economy alive."

The Republican Party. has been promoting that idea since about 1858. Here is a history from widipedia. The Republican party was formed to fight slavery, the Democrats wanted to keep it. Republicans are for less government, the Democrats for more. Republicans believe in the free enterprise system, the Democrats believe in equality. The Republicans strive to create a place where people like Erik can pull themselves up by their bootstraps, have hope, and work themselves out of poverty, the Democrats want to tax the rich, give it to the poor. From what I can see about Erick Lee is that he looks and sounds like a Democrat that is really a Republican. I wish you the best in your campaign. Download 2004 Republican Platform.
