California Faculty Association joins American Federation of Teachers, Staff Guild, Local 1521A, in endorsing Abbe Land for the California District Assembly. When it comes to supporting the needs of those who work for high quality public education in California, “We appreciate that Abbe understands that we’re all in it together”, said Velma Butler of AFT Local 1521A. These endorsements come along with that of Democratic Women of the San Fernando Valley, adding to the support that Abbe is gaining in the Valley ahead of the June 6th, 2006 Democratic Primary election. 

The Abbe Land for Assembly campaign kicked off yesterday amid great celebration and and a fervent call to action. The campaign headquarters was overflowing with supporters and volunteers, some of whom kept calling voters right through the noise of the event.
Abbe was joined by L.A. City Councilmember Jan Perry, Beverly Hills Councilmember Linda Briskman and West Hollywood Councilmembers Jeffrey Prang and John Heilman. Each of them took turns in praising Abbe’s experience and consensus building skills and describing how they uniquely qualify her for the job in Sacramento. And each exhorted Abbe’s supporters to step up their campaign effort  now like never before. Abbe expressed her deep gratitude for the overwhelming support she has received. She then turned everyone’s full attention to the task at hand. “The time is now,”she said. “We will win on June 6 by reaching out to enough voters now with our positive message of progressive Democratic leadership in the State Assembly.”

She then pointed out that there was no substitute for one-on-one, direct communication with voters either by calling or going door-to-door and galvanized everyone into action. Folks signed up for the Saturday, April 15^th walk and weekday evening phonebanking to help support her Democratic candidacy.

Abbe Land continues out-raising her opponent in AD42 race as she opens a $64,000 cash-on-hand advantage.

Abbe Land has, for the fourth straight reporting period, out-raised her opponent, former L.A. City Councilman Mike Feuer. More importantly, she has opened up a $64,000 cash-on-hand advantage over Feuer.

These are the numbers from the state financial filing reports which were due on 3/22, covering the period from 1/106 through 3/17/06:

Candidate        Raised          Cash on hand

Abbe Land       $101,209     $485,637

Mike Feuer       $ 46,239      $421,784

Land’s consultant, Parke Skelton, noted, “At the beginning of the race there were some question about whether Abbe could keep pace with a candidate who had served on the L.A. City Council for eight years. Well she has. It is a testament to the extremely broad base of support surrounding Abbe and her willingness to work hard and stay focused.”
