He ran the worst campaign I have ever seen from a political professional. Andal ran off any potential GOP challengers in the primary because he was suppose to raise the big money and he had support and name ID in the central valley. All the Republican intelligentsia was quaking in their boots gosh nobody wants to run against Dean. HA HA HA what a joke. He had dismal fundraising and to many old Bill Baker hacks who new plenty about polarization but nothing about outreach to the rest of the Republican base. The final insult was inflected by the Republican National Congressional Campaign Committee (RNCC), as they abandoned him financially at the end of his campaign. The most pathetic sight I have ever seen politically was that last interview he did on television in front of Starbucks in Danville where the reporter asked him how he felt about being abandoned by the RNCC. He shuddered and never said anything bad but the look of betrayal was very evident as he was left out to dry by miserable DC Republicans.

As this election cycle proved conservatism in the Tri Valley is dead. They had their last stand with Dean Andal and Abraham Wilson in AD 15. God knows what will replace it but is has been fun to watch.

Andal’s early announcement that he’s out of the game reinforces the growing perception that Jerry may have this seat for a long time. Congrats Jerry on your continued focus on local constituents and thank you for your frequent face-to-face meetings with this District’s residents.
