Congressman Dennis Cardoza
18th Congressional District of California

"The people of California have spoken, and it is time to come together to solve our state’s problems. For too long, our state has been plagued by partisan politics. We must put the recall campaign behind us and move forward with civility.

"As a moderate, I will work with Governor Schwarzenegger and his leadership team to help tackle California’s fiscal crisis. I will do everything I can to help make the transition go as smoothly as possible, and for the sake of our state, I hope everyone will do the same."
