		Jane Filner's only client is her husband, and for the past 11 years she has drawn what is essentially an annual salary from his campaign, though the amount varies from year to year.
		Bob Biersack, a Federal Election Commission spokesman, said records show that Filner's campaigns raised a total of $4.6 million from January 1995 through September 2005, which means her fee equates to 11 percent of all the money raised.
		Filner said he solicited bids to make sure her fee was at market rate before putting her under contract, and he re-checks that fee periodically.

		Bob Filner: I think that the country is being fooled by the "charming" and "pleasant" face of the new Administration--and the Democrats, now without the bully pulpit of the White House, have not been able to get out a clear and focused message.
		Bob Filner: You are absolutely correct! The bill has been re-introduced--but a Republican Congress is intent on giving huge tax benefits to the top 1% of our population instead of keeping our contract with our nation's veterans.
		Bob Filner: Thank you, San Diego! Businesses are dying and families are suffering from the obscene price gouging--and the President's response has been to advocate oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and "let the markets work".

	Vote Record and Cosponsorship Rating for Representative Bob Filner of CA in the 109th Congress
		Filner has taken the principled step of formally lending support to H.R., which would put an end to the practice of "extraordinary rendition." This is a practice in which Bush Administration officials send people into the custody of certain nations, knowing full well (some would say intending) that they will be tortured there.
		Filner has taken the affirmative step of cosponsoring H.R., which would provide more information to the public about contacts between lobbyists and politicians, and which would slow down the revolving door of politics in which politicians move into cushy corporate jobs after they retire in exchange for favors.
		Bob Filner has cosponsored H.R., which would keep members of the Federal Communication Commission from using their appointed positions to censor cable, satellite or internet programs they consider to be indecent.

	CQPolitics.com - CA 51: Slim Margin Gives Way to Safety for Filner This Fall
		Seven-term California Democratic Rep. Bob Filner’s record as a liberal stalwart and his close relationship with Hispanics who make up a population majority in his 51st District rescued him again in Tuesday’s primary, which featured the latest in a series of demands that he step aside in lieu of a Hispanic representative.
		Filner’s vote share in the district — which gets most of its population from the San Diego area, then follows California’s southern border into the rural Imperial Valley — was a modest 52 percent with 84 percent of the precincts reporting.
		Democratic Rep. Bob Filner, though he has not been seriously challenged by a Republican in his general elections, hasn't exactly run up the score in his past two elections, winning with 58 percent in 2002 and 62 percent in 2004.

	Democrat Congressman Bob Filner Implicated in HUD Housing Scandal

		During the late re-districting cycle, Filner and other California members of Congress realized that their districts were increasingly changing to include thousands of new Latino voters that could possibly be an advantage to up-and-coming Mexican-American candidates.
		In Filner's case, the largest contributor in his political career is the United Auto Workers union, and I doubt that there's an auto worker in his district.
