    CA-48 - A Few Reasons Beth Krom Would Make a Great Congresswoman

    Here are a few of the reasons Beth Krom is such an excellent candidate for California's 48th District:

    She can win elections.
    Beth Krom has won five campaigns, In 2006, she garnered 60% of the vote in her re-election as Mayor and in 2008, won her current City Council seat with 8000 votes more than the next candidate.

    She gets things done.
    We need elected officials who have experience getting things done for their constituents. Beth Krom is a strong advocate for environmental stewardship. Her vote was instrumental in cleaning up the water along the Orange County coast: she was the first "inland" representative to advocate for full secondary treatment of the effluent the OC Sanitation District pumped out into the ocean and was the "swing vote" in getting the board to fund implementation.

    She's a visionary.
    Beth Krom understands that Orange County needs leadership that will advance innovative, integrated transit solutions, sustainable development practices and green technology and jobs initiatives.

    She can work across party lines.
    Beth Krom has the respect of so many people throughout Orange County because she works with people, regardless of political affiliation, to get things done.

    Irvine is one of America's best run cities.
    What other Orange County elected, at the local, state or federal level, can lay claim to the legacy of forward-thinking leadership that Beth Krom has provided in the City of Irvine? "Safest City in America" four years straight; a balanced budget and more than tripling city reserves during her term as Mayor, and advancing a project of regional importance - the Orange County Great Park

    The people of the 48th Congressional District - which includes Irvine, Tustin, Newport Beach, Newport Coast, Lake Forest, Laguna Beach, Laguna Woods, Laguna Hills, Laguna Niguel, Aliso Viejo, Dana Point and parts of Santa Ana and San Juan Capistrano - deserve real representation and not just a "congressional seat-warmer." Beth Krom is a candidate they can enthusiastically support.
