McClintock to face GOP challenger
By Christopher Cadelago, Sacramento Bee
Republican Art Moore filed paperwork Friday to challenge veteran GOP Rep. Tom McClintock, casting himself as a pragmatic supporter of limited government with roots in the foothill-based 4th Congressional District.
Moore said it’s clear that the federal government is not working for the district, which he believes should be represented by someone with a completely different perspective on public service.
A graduate of Placer High School and the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, Moore brings to the campaign a combined 14 years of active duty and National Guard service. He spent 30 months deployed overseas and currently is a major in the Army National Guard, he said.
El Dorado County Supervisor Norma Santiago pulled papers for the race but did not file.
