VENTURA, CA- Recent mailers sent to voters in the 26th Congressional District have caused Ventura County GOP Chairman Mike Osborn to issue the following statement:
"Our office has received many complaints from voters who have received a 4 page attack mailer targeting Jeff Gorrell by Julia Brownley. In it she claims she 'stands up to politicians that put self before our country'. Her attempt to draw contrast between Jeff and herself only highlights the desperation of her campaign.
Jeff Gorell has completed two combat tours of duty in service to his Country, taking risks that more than demonstrate his selflessness. No rational person can argue that combat military service is not the ultimate act of putting "Country above self." We're proud of his record of military service and putting the needs of our Nation before his own.
What this mailer unintentionally puts on display is Julia Brownley's utter contempt for the Military and the service that our men and women volunteer to perform.
This mailer is a cheap political ploy by a desperate politician who can't show any measurable accomplishments.
It's amazing that Julia Brownley has the audacity to claim that Jeff Gorell, Commander in the US Navy, has done anything but put his country before himself.
I call upon Julia Brownley to issue a public apology to Commander Gorell and all of the Veterans in Ventura County whose service she has belittled by sending out this desperate piece of political attack mail."
