Democratic attorney and activist Sandra Fluke has decided against running for retiring Rep. Henry A. Waxmans congressional seat, instead planning a bid for the state Senate. I am extremely moved by the outpouring of local and national support I have received since I announced that I was considering running for office. My entire career has been devoted to the public interest, whether representing victims of human trafficking or advocating for working families, Fluke said late Tuesday night. I am committed to continuing that fight in Sacramento, working to protect our environment, ensure our access to health care, and create the jobs that are desperately needed. While I strongly considered offering my candidacy for Congress, I feel there is a better way for me to advance the causes that are important to our community.

THIS JUST IN: Sandra’s campaign slogan: “If you like your vagina, you can keep your vagina.”
How can she run for Congress if she can’t even pay for her own birth control devices?
She probably found out she would have to register her cooter as a public utility.
Why? Because her campaign promise of "free infections for everyone" didn't appeal to the voters?
She’s engaged to the son of a wealthy NY attorney who is a longtime Dem donor. She’ll certainly have plenty of dough for her campaign.

I think they want to run someone more attractive than Henry Waxman.
Wendy Gruel is the public unions’ puppet and heir-elect to Waxman’s seat.
TPTB convinced Fluke to set her sights a little lower, State District 28 (Ted Lieu’s seat).
If nothing else, old HogNose Henry showed the country that liberal ideology trumps good looks in Hollywood!
She’s fluked...toast...done...finished.
Just curious, is that going to be an open seat or will she be taking on an incumbent in the D primary?
That is how I see it too! Good observation
I just lost another keyboard by spitting my tea on it. I might be chuckling all day on you comment.

Explanation of member status”
(D)Ted Lieu is there now. But he threw his hat into the ring for Waxman’s seat.
Smart move actually
Witch state senate?
Thanks. Apparently she is engaged to the son of a one percenter NYC lawyer who is a long time Dem contributor.
So she’ll have plenty of dough.
ENTIRE CAREER? This woman has never had a job. Only a liberal would consider student action as a career.
“Senator, I need your help in getting something done about all of the potholes in the State Highway in front of my business.”
“Sorry, can’t help you there. But I can get you a really sweet deal on an abortion.”
