| Beilenson Vs. McClintock (940 words) |
 | Seven-term incumbent Democratic Congressman Anthony Beilenson faces a tough challenge from Republican State Assemblyman Tom McClintock for the new 24th Congressional District seat Beilenson, a social liberal and fiscal moderate, is campaigning on protecting abortion rights, cutting the deficit, and safeguarding the environment. |
| Beilenson, 59, chose to run in the new, slightly Republican district, with 55 percent of his old constituents, rather than challenge fellow liberal Democrat Henry Waxman for a seat on the Westside where Beilenson built his political base over the past 30 years. |
| Beilenson sees the passage of national health care insurance as anecessary step in controlling medical costs and reducing the deficit while expanding medical coverage to all Americans, 40 million of whom currently have no health insurance. |
