And his name is John Dennis:
John Dennis, an accomplished businessman and entrepreneur, has been a pro-liberty Republican for a quarter century.
Born in Jersey City, the son of a longshoreman and a city hall clerk, he grew up in one of the city’s toughest public housing projects.
After graduating from Fordham University with a degree in business administration, John co-founded Humanscale, which became one of the world’s top 10 design firms, specializing in office ergonomics.
After a varied career in global development and marketing, John created Foundation Real Estate, a San Francisco-based investment company with domestic and international holdings.
He is the founder of the San Francisco chapter of the Republican Liberty Caucus and currently the head of the Campaign for Liberty San Francisco.
John is a board member of the Republican Liberty Caucus California, has served as an alternate on the San Francisco Republican Central Committee and is a member of the National Rifle Association.
This is certainly the man with the biggest uphill battle in 2010 – just getting the people of San Francisco to even consider a Republican is going to be hard…getting a majority of them to vote GOP…well, all things are possible. The important point: Pelosi will not go unchallenged.
It is up to us GOPers to do what we can for Mr. Dennis – though, of course, if there are other GOPers out there vying for Nancy’s seat, we’d like to hear from them. Any challenge we can mount in these bastions of liberalism means that the liberals will have to spend that much effort and money defending rather than attacking and that, in and of itself, is a good thing.
But, also, you never can tell. Who of us ever thought that Brown would even have a chance in Massachusetts? The people are furious with government – and its not just conservatives and Republicans…its independents and even that part of the left which is actually in favor of liberty (this is a small percentage of the whole – but it is there, and we should reach for it). These are revolutionary times and we should not lock ourselves in to the political boxes of the past.
I wish Mr. Dennis all the luck in the world and if anyone out there had ever thought of running – this is the year to do it. Pick your entrenched Democrat and have at him – it just might work.
