Doug Applegate: Democratic front-runner, with us on the issues

COLONEL APPLEGATE IS AHEAD IN THE POLLS

He is the key to avoiding a Democratic shut-out in November

Doug Applegate is the top Democrat in the race to replace Issa in CA-49. Doug has been the Democratic front-runner in all but one of the most reputable polls, and there have been seven of them between February and late May.

​He's our best shot at getting a Democrat through this vicious jungle primary where four Democrats are splitting the vote. He is also the best candidate for the November election. Remember that Applegate came within 1,621 votes of beating Issa in 2016, a feat which was considered impossible because Issa was thought to be invulnerable.
The stakes are high. The top two vote-getters in this June election will be going onto the final ballot in November regardless of party. The odds that Democrats could get shut out are still frighteningly high. Republicans could claim the top two spots.  

​This primary could decide the November election before it even happens.

How do you avoid this grim fate? By voting for the Democratic front-runner: Doug Applegate.

DOUG APPLEGATE IS WITH US ON THE ISSUES

Applegate's pledge to the 49th district is to "Leave No One Behind". He will fight for:

  • Health care for all (a single payer system that will save lives and save money)
  • Women's rights including reproductive choice and true equality in all dimensions
  • A shift to renewable energy to slow down climate change
  • ​16 years of free high quality public education
  • Immigration reform with respect for immigrants and a pathway to citizenship (because immigrants built this country)
  • Sensible gun law reform including range safety training for gun owners
  • A strong defense policy that is always mindful of those being sent into harm's way

DOUG APPLEGATE IS A MAN OF PRINCIPLE

"He won't always do the easy thing, but he will do the right thing" 
- Quote from a 49th district voter

Voters trust Doug Applegate. He's an ex-Marine, a man of honor and principle. He tells the unvarnished truth. He is willing to take an unpopular position because it's the right thing to do. He fought his way to within 1,621 votes of Darrell Issa with grit, determination, and principle. He doesn't give up... and if he gets to Washington, he won't give up on us.

VOTE FOR DOUG APPLEGATE ON JUNE 5th!

Haven't seen much advertising from Colonel Applegate. I wasn't even sure he was running until I got my sample ballot would hate for him to miss votes because people don't know he is active in this election

Here in there southern part of OC, Applegate is nowhere to be seen. There are never any Applegate signs - anywhere! It seems he is maybe focused elsewhere? Please correct this issue!

I voted for Col. Applegate almost a month ago on the ballot-by-mail. I was impressed by his campaign rhetoric. And he almost defeated Crook Issa. As he was the only Democrat who would run against the GOP fraud, I was delighted when Issa "retired." But I was miffed at the Democrats who came out of the woodwork to run this year when Issa was gone. Can anyone name the Republican opponent? Applegate lost by about 1600 votes and Hillary carried Orange County. I just felt a sense of loyalty to the colonel for his courage last time.
