The Robert Hamilton campaign for Congress (CA 49th District) is heating up and drawing national attention with his endorsement by the highly regarded Esquire Magazine over his opponent Darrell Issa. The widely anticipated November endorsement issue is on the newsstands now.
To quote from the endorsement: “Name a Bush-era controversy– the U.S. attorneys scandal, disappearing White House e-mails, disastrously unqualified appointments, warrantless wiretapping, torture– and Issa’s been there to defend the party line. Esquire endorses Hamilton.”
Hamilton notes that “the Esquire endorsement is especially welcome because the magazines’ editorial policy is non-partisan, with a history of endorsing on merit, promise and proven performance.”

Kudos to Esquire on spotting a real man of integrity! I’ve met Robert Hamilton several times and trust his credentials and character. He is a Vietnam veteran, UCLA graduate, and formerly a business person in banking. In addition to having a vision and plans for healing our economy, Mr Hamilton strongly supports education, health, national security and fair, strong international ties. He will make a superb Congress person.

I served with Bob Hamilton in Vietnam and know him to be an honorable man. He has been a leader in organizing our ship reunions and even though in the past I probably would have supported a Republican like Issa, Congress will need men like Mr. Hamilton with vision to lead us through these economic difficulties. The endorsement by Esquire Magazine is an important accomplishment.
