Thirty Days Hath September | Day 23 | $20 to Scott Harper

Every day of September (almost) I'm making a contribution to a new candidate, announcing it here on Daily Kos, and encouraging you to join me.  If one person matches my contribution on my ActBlue page, I'll double my contribution; if ten people match it, I'll triple.  Details here.

Nobody has contributed to Samm Simpson in the past two days, so I'm not sending her any more money today.  But someone kicked in $20 more to Mark Pera, pushing our total for the page over $2,000.  That's nice.

A few days ago Jennifer Clare suggested that I add Scott Harper to the list.  I've had a look, like what I see, and he's today's candidate.  Follow me below the fold for more.

Scott was inspired to run at YearlyKos.  He's got a simple, positive, progressive platform:

  1.  Stop the war in Iraq

  2. Build the middle class

  3. Support the environment

  4. Build new export industries

He's running in a fairly red district (PVI R+5).  From the comments in Scott's introductory diary, he's clearly given a lot of thought to what it will take to win, and seems to have good ideas and good strategy.  It's going to be a tough race, and today I'm making it $20 easier.  Won't you please join me?  Thanks!

Here's Scott's website.
