Ami Bera, Congressional candidate, discusses healthcare

Sat, 09/05/2009 - 16:26

Here's an in-depth article on Dr. Ami Bera, the Elk Grove physician who is running for Congress in California's 3rd District.  The district is a top target for Democrats as Barack Obama actually carried the district with 49% of the vote and the current Congressman, Republican Dan Lungren, barely won the seat over Democrat William Durston, 49-44%, in 2008. The district has a Cook partisan index of +6 which makes it winnable.
