Although Jerry Lewis is widely believed to be on the verge of indictment for taking massive bribes from the same corrupt Republican supporters who paid off now imprisoned ex-Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham, the DCCC has not targeted Lewis for a serious challenge. Fortunately, a concerned citizen, Louie Contreras, who is neither a career politician nor the kind of mealy-mouthed corporate type the DCCC normally favors, filed last year to run against Lewis and has been quietly putting together an impressive coalition of civic-minded groups and supporters to tackle the entrenched incumbent.
