What The Princess Discovered (ePub)

The former Republican congressional candidate for the House of Representatives from California, Delecia Holt, was propelled to national awareness during the 2006 elections when she became a candidate to replace Randy "Duke" Cunningham, the former member of the House of Representatives in San Diego's 50th Congressional district. Because she was the only female, Republican that entered the race she stood out in a sea of male GOP candidates. But, what was striking about her was that she was the only "Black" female to enter what was later termed "the Good Old Boys Club" of millionaire, white male candidates. And by all accounts with regard to her political savviness, it is said that she had matched them stride for stride. While there were two "Black" male candidates that entered the race, they soon fell to the wayside. Holt's tenacity, intense passion and love of her country, the United States of America, her sense of compassion for those in need, and her eclectic work experience is what many believe catapulted her to sudden prominence within the GOP. And, is what may have also caused many others to target her. Holt was an up and coming rising star within the GOP party.
