Supporters of Cynthia Matthews lined Foothill Blvd outside Congressman David Dreier’s office this afternoon demanding answers on how much this GOP leader knew about the predatory behavior of Republican Mark Foley and the extent to which he was complicit in the leadership’s concealment of the complaints of former pages.

“David Dreier is Chairman of the Rules Committee and has been for many years. There is virtually nothing that goes through Congress that that man isn’t aware of. He was, in fact, next in line for Speaker of the House until several ranking Republicans denied his advancement due to questions about his personal life. The people of the 26th Congressional District as well as the citizens in the country deserve to know the truth.”

Cynthia Matthews, Democratic candidate in the 26th CD, ran against Dreier two years ago and forced him down to the lowest winning percentage of any Republican in leadership. In a rematch this year, Matthews easily won her three-way Democratic primary. She has repeatedly called for all four candidates to debate so that voters will have an opportunity to meet and question the people who want to represent them.

“David Dreier is robbing the citizens of the 26th District of their democratic process by refusing to debate.”
