"Before Denham took office in 2012, the 10th District had a Democratic representative for 24 of the previous 28 years. It is clear that Harder cares about this district, saying, 'The way you show your love to a place is making sure you put constituents first.'” - medium.com

Josh Harder has forced Denham into the fight of his political life. A 30-year-old raised in dusty Turlock, Harder earned an Ivy League education, becoming a venture capitalist and backing the meal-delivery service Blue Apron. Harder says he’s running to block the GOP assault on Obamacare, which protects people with pre-existing conditions, like his brother, who was born 10 weeks premature. “He’s an amazingly hard worker,” says Lieu. “Josh can present a very strong contrast in that district.” -Rollingstone.com
