LOS ANGELES, March 23, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fresh from participating in the historic vote supporting President Obama's healthcare reform legislation, Congresswoman Jane Harman (D-36) has begun the communications and outreach phase of her re-election campaign.

"Harvey Englander and his team have a consistent record of running effective political campaigns using a combination of tried and true strategies and tactics along with new, cutting edge techniques. We look forward to running a positive campaign focusing on job creation and economic growth; strong support for the environment; a robust national defense and aerospace industrial base; protecting the rights of women and seniors; and ensuring educational opportunities for every child in the 36th Congressional District," Harman stated.
"I am excited about the upcoming campaign. I love being home in the District and meeting with voters," she concluded.
