Remember this guy?
Marine Colonel Doug Applegate came within 1,600 votes of defeating Darrell Issa back in 2016, and ultimately chased poor Darrell — the richest member of Congress — out of the race.

Several other Democrats jumped into the “jungle primary” for CA-49 but I’ve stuck with the Colonel because I like and trust him. Here’s what I wrote today on my local political Facebook page:
Doug Applegate is a smart, genuine, and compassionate person who has served our country honorably in combat. The longer I know him, the more I like him. He has a strong work ethic and solid core values. On top of that, he's just nice. I'm proud that he has run a positive message-based campaign without attacking his Democratic opponents, and I would not hesitate to sign up to help him in the future, for whatever elected position he seeks.
