The Honorable Dede Alpert Endorses Scott Peters for Congress
"More than ever, Washington needs thoughtful, compassionate leaders like Scott"
San Diego – The Scott Peters for Congress campaign announces another endorsement today from one of San Diego’s most popular elected leaders. Former State Senator Dede Alpert has endorsed Peters, calling him a “thoughtful and compassionate” leader.“I’ve known and worked with Scott for several years, while he was on the City Council, and during his volunteer public service to our community and I very gladly endorse his candidacy for Congress,” Alpert said.
“He is thoughtful, compassionate and smart, and is one of the most skilled consensus builders I’ve ever worked with,” she said. “His reasonable, determined style of leadership is sorely needed in Washington right now where the rancor has become so intense it is harming our country. I urge San Diegans in the new 52nd District to support him and send a new style of leadership to Washington.”
Alpert had a long career as an elected representative in the San Diego region, beginning in 1983 when she was elected to the Solana Beach School Board. In 1991, she was elected to the California State Assembly, and in 1996, to the California State Senate. During her 14 years of legislative service she was best known for championing laws that improved public education and protected victims of domestic abuse.
“When people ask me who I look to as a mentor or model for how elected officials should, I tell them I learned from Dede,” Peters said. “She is practical and sensible and was always willing to listen to all sides in order to forge compromise and make progress,” he said. “I am honored to have her endorsement.”

Professional liberal hack scott peters running for congress. In his ad he cites his Christian minister dad. The hypocrite, under pressure from activist James Hartline in the city council chambers, he publicly stated that was not a factor for him, had no bearing on his decisions, which were and are always leftist anyways. By the way, all the rest of the council denied being influenced by faith also, including so called Christian tony young. I heard them deny their faith with my own ears.
