Hollywood producer Brian Quintana is set to challenge United States Senator Barbara Boxer in the June 8, 2010 Democratic primary. The Co-Producer of Superman: Man of Steel filed a Declaration of Candidacy, his nomination papers and enough valid signatures to qualify him for the statewide ballot. California's fling deadline was Friday, March 12, 2010, and Quintana was the only certified challenger to Boxer at the close of business.
Quintana first ran for public office in 1992, when his supporters included Hollywood billionaire David Geffen, producer Steve Tisch, movie studio executive Sherry Lansing, Martin Sheen, Anjelica Huston, and entertainment mogul Barry Diller. In January 2009, USA Today mentioned him as a prospective candidate to succeed Congressman Xavier Becerra who at the time was considering the post of President Barack Obama's Commerce Secretary. Quintana, a former servant of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, believes that he would again be supported by many of his famous friends in Tinseltown.
The businessman is running on a platform of creating jobs, cutting spending and improving our public schools. "The Tsunami of discontent for politics as usual is sweeping pur country from Florida to Massachusetts and from Virginia to Nevada. As a good Democratic I will not concede this seat to Barbara Boxer and allow Califonia to be washed up come November," stated Quintana about his decision to run. "Further, no one from Los Angeles County or no person of color has served California in the United States Senate in over 100 years. Our time has come."
He plans to capitalize on the anti-incumbent wave that has ousted countless national leaders from office, and endangered Democratic Senator Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas. Quintana is Boxer's first serious primary challenge since 1992. Former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, former Congressman Tom Campbell and conservative Assemblyman Chuck DeVore are engaged in a spirited Republican primary. The winner will meet the Democratic nominee on June 8, 2010.
