I'd like to introduce myself -- I'm Catherine Coddington and I'm Christy's new finance director. I've only been here for a few weeks but I am so impressed by the strength of Christy's grassroots support.
I've been in California a long time and I know the effects radical Republicans, like Mike Garcia, have had on this district. It's just time for him to go. And together, we're going to get it done.
You'll be hearing from me more regularly because building a strong campaign means fundraising to build our field program, placing ads to reach more voters, and so much more.
I know we'll be able to build a thoughtful and compassionate campaign, but I won't be able to do it alone.
When Christy asked me to join this team it was a no brainer.
Mike Garcia -- and his bad record -- have proven over and over again that he is a problem, not a problem solver. This district deserves a leader who will work hard for the people of CA-25 and I know that leader is my new boss, Christy Smith.
