Lungren to Hold Precinct Walks in Elk Grove and Folsom
The congressman running for election in a newly created district will knock on doors this Saturday.
Rep. Dan Lungren (R-Gold River) will be walking door-to-door with volunteers this weekend, likely hoping to make every door-knock count as the Nov. 6 election draws closer.
"This week many people begin voting, and with many yet to make up their mind on who to vote for, your help could make all the difference in this very tight race," Lungren Campaign Manager Jeff Wyly wrote on the campaign's website.
Lungren is facing off against Elk Grove Democrat Ami Bera in California's Congressional District 7.

The two men debated in a televised event last month.
