<p align="justify"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">Steve Israel is a leading voice in Congress for renewable energy technologies and energy efficiency, which are critical to the future of our local economy. He is one of the few Members of Congress from outside of California who truly understands Silicon Valley and as such is a true friend to many in our community. Steve has worked tirelessly to support Democrats for Congress all across the country.&nbsp;I look forward to continuing to work with him to Take Back the House, and I am honored to have his strong support in my own reelection.</span></p>
