Brian Quintana thanks you

Thank you for supporting our campaign for United States Senate. Together we received 338,442 votes (14%) against Barbara Boxer and politics as usual.

Here’s what some respectable pundits had to say:

"The surprise runner-up: Hollywood producer Brian Quintana, who snatched almost 15% of the vote." - KQED

"But the news of the day is that Hollywood producer Brian Quintana, who didn't get any publicity, garnered nearly three times as many votes as Kaus." - Sacramento Bee

"Quintana's showing was surprising. Kaus got some press. Quintana came out of nowhere," said Jack Pitney, a political science professor at Claremont McKenna College.
Quintana ran a good e-mail campaign, according to Republican political consultant Matt Klink, of Cerrell Associates. – San Gabriel Valley Tribune


Incidentally, I received more votes than Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has in any of any his elections, and received 118,948 more votes than (two-time) California Attorney General candidate Rocky Delgadillo. Despite national exposure, I beat or tied Republican U.S. Senate candidate Chuck DeVore in 25 Counties, and received only 12,315 fewer votes than Facebook executive Chris Kelly who spent $12 million of his own money to become California's Attorney General. Further, no challenger to Senator Dianne Feinstein or Senator Barbara Boxer had received more than 8% of the vote since they were elected in 1992. Some amazing stats when you think of it.


Most importantly, I had a great time campaigning statewide. My goal is to influence the outcome of this election in November and remain a political player.


Thank you once again!
