Kimberlin Brown Pelzer – a soap star turned political candidate for the Coachella Valley’s congressional seat who, in addition to running in the district for the first time, will also be voting in the district for the first time – got the endorsement of the National Republican Congressional Committee on Monday, reports the Desert Sun. The committee called Pelzer one of their “Young Guns On the Radar,” a group of first-time candidates they believe have “star power.”
The endorsement pushes Brown Pelzer forward as a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives 36th district in California as it snubs Dan Ball, another Republican candidate vying for the same seat – now held by Democrat Raul Ruiz – that covers a large area of eastern Riverside County. The district includes Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, Indio, Desert Hot Springs, Indian Wells, Coachella and Cathedral City.
“House Democrats have tried to obstruct our agenda at every turn and our Republican challengers are ready to hold them accountable,” said NRCC Chairman Steve Stivers in a statement released Monday.
