Adam Gray: “John was a first time candidate, had run, well, second time…”

“About two thirds of the voters in the 13th congressional district were represented by me. For a decade in the state legislature, John was a first time candidate, had run, well, second time candidate. He had run for something called Modesto irrigation district board some years before and lost that seat. But he jumped into an open seat, as did I, post redistricting, and we had a very competitive, a tough campaign. Five people in the primary, two Democrats, three Republicans.” (04:32–04:44)
