“With our returning combat veterans, unemployment is over 30 percent,” he said. “Our representative, Mr. Hunter, gives nothing but lip service to real needs of the middle class, even asm any of us face unemployment, foreclosure and bankruptcy.”
A county resident for more than 50 years, he wants to serve in Congress to protect the interests of working people and retirees whose Social Security and Medicare are threatened.
Secor plans tol reject corporate, union and PAC funding, and has announced he will take no contribution over $100. He has vowed to give 20 percent of his $176,000 congressional salary to “nonprofits and education” if elected. He aims to rely heavily on “Iinternet campaigning and social media to take on Duncan Hunter,” citing ouster of dictators in Libya and Egypt as an example of what social networking can accomplish.
