Herb Paine for Congress Special Update: September 15, 2006
HERB WINS DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY!
Goes up against John Shadegg in November
Herb will face John Shadegg in the General Election, after winning the Democratic primary in Congressional District 3.
While early counts showed a tight margin between Herb and his primary opponent, remaining early ballots and provisional ballots have been counted and Herb will be the official winner.
The campaign is now in full gear, aiming for a November victory!
To achieve our goal of returning accountability, integrity, and balance to Congress - of putting Herb in the U.S. House of Representatives - the most important thing that you can do right now is to contribute what you can.

We fully expect Shadegg to outspend us. As Herb has stated, "John Shadegg's close ties to deep pocketed lobbyists and Washington insiders guarantees him a political blank check. But the question is whether voters want more of the same or if they want fundamental change. That is what this election is about." And that is why we need you now and in the coming days to drive this campaign to victory!
We thank all of you, our supporters, for your continued dedication to this campaign. Your loyalty and spirit have made this campaign even stronger!
