Michael Huffington
Bruce Nestande, Campaign Spokesperson for Former United States Congressman Michael Huffington Today (July 25) Issues Statement
Friday July 25, 5:01 pm ET

LOS ANGELES, and WASHINGTON, July 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Bruce Nestande, campaign spokesperson for former United States Congressman Michael Huffington today (July 25) issued the following statement:
"Former Republican United States Congressman Michael Huffington today obtained nomination papers to run for Governor of California from the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder. He paid the $3,500 filing fee and has until August 9th to complete the paperwork and return the documents to the County. After much encouragement by friends and supporters to consider seeking the office of Governor, he made the decision to consider his candidacy now that an election date has been set.

"The former Congressman lost to Senator Dianne Feinstein by the very slim margin of 1.6% in the 1994 race for United States Senate. Mr. Huffington, like all Californians, is deeply disturbed by the existing fiscal crisis that clearly adversely affects a broad range of issues from job creation to the credibility of all educational and governmental institutions in California. The former Congressman feels qualified by his background in finance to successfully deal with this deepening financial crisis and re-establish California's fiscal integrity. Mike Huffington's candidacy would discredit the desperate claims by Gray Davis that the Governor's Office will be captured by a right wing conspiracy.

"Mr. Huffington will make a decision regarding his candidacy during this two week filing period. An announcement will be made when that decision has been finalized. Until that time no further statements will be forthcoming."
