I am confident he will bring his track record of balancing city budgets to Washington and ensure that taxpayer dollars are spent wisely.

Gary DeLong is tough, relentless and he’s on our side. Gary will be a strong voice for taxpayers in Washington.

DeLong shares my belief that government needs to do more to support small businesses and improve our economy. Taxpayers can count on him to stand up and oppose new and higher taxes.

I am pleased to support Gary DeLong for Congress. I know I can count on Gary to support my efforts in growing our economy, supporting our small and medium size businesses so they can create jobs for our citizens, and reigning in government spending.

Councilmember DeLong is the right person in the right place at the right time. Our country needs leaders like Gary who can work with people with differing views to build consensus on difficult issues. I’m confident he can bring his business skills and public service experience to improve the fiscal health of Washington.

I’m supporting Gary DeLong for Congress because he is a fellow business owner who knows that in order to grow our economy the private sector must be the ones to create long term jobs.

Gary DeLong and I share the same goal of working to improve public safety in our community. He has demonstrated a strong and unyielding commitment to public safety and law enforcement concerns along with a devotion to the welfare of law enforcement professionals. Gary is a proven leader and we need his voice in Congress to keep our neighborhoods safe and healthy by supporting thriving businesses and good jobs.

I have witnessed Gary's actions as chairman of Long Beach's Budget Oversight Committee and I have no doubt he will maintain the same fiscally responsible approach in Washington as he does in Long Beach.

Strong leadership is more essential than ever for our country and Gary DeLong has proven his ability to represent his constituents well.
