    Paid for and Authorized by Sherman for Congress, FEC# C00308742

    PRESS ADVISORY FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JUNE 27, 2012 INDEPENDENT ELECTION ANALYSIS IS GOOD NEWS FOR SHERMAN CAMPAIGN OUTLOOK FOR NOVEMBER Congressman Brad Sherman’s campaign was encouraged by recently-released statistical findings of the June 5 primary election results that showed Sherman ran much more competitively in the political stomping grounds of his rival, Howard Berman, than Berman ran in Sherman’s political backyard. "That’s a very good sign for this campaign," said Sherman's chief campaign strategist, Parke Skelton. The statistical analysis by the independent firm of Redistricting Partners showed Sherman getting 32 percent of the vote in that part of the new 30th District previously represented by Berman, while Berman picked up only 25 percent of the vote in that part of the 30th previously represented by Sherman. “Each candidate had to compete on turf previously dominated by their rival, and we came off doing a significantly better job of capturing votes in Berman's backyard than he did in ours,” Skelton said. The 30th District was created by the Citizens' Redistricting Commission out of parts of four congressional districts. About 47 percent of the new district is comprised of Sherman's old district. In that territory, Sherman won, 49 percent (Sherman) to 25 percent (Berman). In the 26 percent of the new district that was formerly in Berman's old district, Berman got 49 percent of the vote, Sherman 32 percent.
