Val Baffone for State House - AK http://www.valbaffone.com/rss.xml DLCC en-us Mon Nov 03 2008 04:26:52 GMT-0500 (EST) THE TRUTH about Craig Johnson's desperate last minute smear campaign. http://dlcc.wiredforchange.com/o/5914/p/10021/press_release?key=801 <p>I'm disapointed Craig Johnson refers to the hundreds of individuals in OUR district, Police Officers, Teachers, Fire Fighters, Nurses and hard working Alaskan families as "special interests."</p>
<p></p>
<p>I call them neighbors. The only special interest I serve is YOU!</p>
