What a Great 'Meet and Greet' with Drew Leavens by Laurel Davila

What a great ‘Meet and Greet’ fundraising event for Drew Leavens (below), Candidate for the 45^th California Congressional District, this afternoon at the home of Dinah and Cliff Frieden of Irvine! 

Dinah Frieden (below), is the President of the Democrats of Greater Irvine, and said, “Drew’s experience as a Mental Health Professional make him well suited to the challenge of working with our dysfunctional U.S. Congress. He cares about people and holds true to Democratic Values.” 

I'm sitting and chatting with Mimi Miller-McClurg (below), who is the Strategist/Fundraising professional for Drew’s campaign. She said, “In my humble opinion, we as a country need more Congress people in the House like Drew Leavens, to bring the real life issues to the forefront.” 

Teray Stephens (below), is Drew’s Campaign Manager, she noted that it says a lot about Drew that he has an all female campaign team (Liesl Thomas is his Deputy Campaign Manager). 

Drew (below) talked to us about the real issues facing Americans today, such as the need for comprehensive immigration reform, responsible gun legislation, women’s issues, climate change, taking care of our veterans, job growth, getting our kids to college without an insufferable amount of debt, and the importance of true leadership with a vision. 

Our former Mayor of Irvine, Beth Krom (below with Drew), mentioned that if everyone gave small amounts to the campaign, and created networks of friends whom we asked contributions of, that we could reclaim our power as Democrats in this District. Beth said, “Wouldn’t it be great if we could beat (R) Mimi Walters, with all of her money, and all of her arrogance?”
