I believe I am the first with the full Tenenbaum Bio. I don't know who sent it to me, but I confirmed that this is the real deal. Are you wondering who is running against Gallegly?
What part of his background stands out to the most? His accomplishments seem very impressive, especially for his age. I see a huge resume, but I still don't know from what wing of the Republican Party he comes from. If anyone can fill us in on those details let me know.

word for word from the campaign piece.
MICHAEL TENENBAUM -- CANDIDATE PROFILE
Michael has deep roots in the 24th Congressional District, which includes most of
Ventura County and the northern part of Santa Barbara County, California. Michael's
education, his strong commitment to public service, his impressive professional
experience, and his solid Republican credentials make him an ideal candidate to represent
the community's interests in Washington.
FAMILY ROOTS IN VENTURA COUNTY
Michael's family settled in Thousand Oaks in 1976 and continues to live in the community
to this day. Michael's father was a survivor of the Holocaust who was liberated from the
Dachau concentration camp by the 42nd Rainbow Division of the U.S. Army.
After his father died when Michael was just eight years old, Michael's mother worked to
raise Michael and his two brothers. Throughout his youth, Michael also worked at
countless jobs to help his single mom support the family, from mowing lawns to
managing a movie theater. Michael's mom continues to live in the family home Michael
renovated for her after paying off the mortgage.
Michael's younger brother is a doctor living in Newbury Park with his wife and Michael's
two nephews. His youngest brother serves his country as a captain in the U.S. Air Force,
navigating a reconnaissance aircraft to gather intelligence on our enemies around the world.
EDUCATION
All candidates talk about the value of education, but Michael embodies that value.
Michael attended public elementary, junior high, and high school in Thousand Oaks,
where he graduated first in his class as Valedictorian. Michael went on to study
Economics at UCLA, where he earned a degree in just three years -- first in his class
again -- with a perfect 4.0 GPA. Michael then went on to graduate, with honors, from
Harvard Law School.

County Republican Central Committee.
Bravo Brian. Thank you for finding the real McCoy.
Now let's try to get more serious from now on...There is no impact, no feeling of 'truth beyond a reasonable doubt' when you allow 'news worthy' articles to be printed in your blog by 'anonymous'. Please. we have a right to know who sends 'such official notices". Why won't you name the source for any of these? I just don't get it.
PS: I'm new here. I've read lots. Would you please sign your contributions with your full name. I am tired of reading brian and ending up looking at a campaign sloughan.
Tsunami, Thanks for reading.
I don't publish the sources for many reasons. One reason is because I don't always know. For example, I don't recall meeting anyone named Tsunami.
If we waited for official sources to speak, we would wait to hear what they wanted us to hear. And when they wanted us to hear it.
When i think something is fake ( which doesn't happen often) I label it as such. I am glad we agree that all anonymous sources must be viewed with a heavy degree of suspicion and doubt. More often then not, it is trash. If you think it is important to sign with a full name, then start an example. If you mean when I print a candidates press release verbatim and you are confused where it starts, let me know and I will fix it and make it more clear. I try to say " word for word from the press release" or somehting like that.
I look forward to reading more about all the candidates. If you see a commerical, press release, letter, event, etc. feel free to post it here or let me know.
But back to the issue at hand. What are your intitial impressions of the Tenenbaum candidacy? I am interested in your opinion.
Hi Brian,
I like your philosophy. Due to the nature of the blogs prior to the new Tenenbaum statement, I felt a pseudonym at this time appropriate. I just think that "official press releases" from the candidate [as was the false one on M.T.-should carry a name or perhaps if you hit reply and ask the writer for a name] it might be easier to flush out the people who inject their venom into blogs. People with opinions often feel bolder by hiding behind a first name only. It's easier for them to strike at a person's character rather than the issue.
As to your question: I feel this was written by Michael Tenenbaum's mother...such a good boy, look what he's done...come into our den so i can show you Mikey's degrees, merits and trophies.
I have yet to hear/see much on Tenenbaum. Nothing even comes up on search engines. For a 'good boy' who has done so much, I question the lack of articles, information available. He hasn't even been involved in local politics with many letters to the editor if my memory is accurate.
Personally I feel the Republicans are cooking up something. Didn't Mike go to DC and meet with old Elton? I trust neither of them. But I sure would be interested in old El's reaction when his midnight hour filing backfired.
Thanks again for providing this forum.
