Talk:Howard Berman

message: I am a long-time WP contributor.  My interest in editing this page is to maintain NPOV.  I do have connections, however, to the congressman and his current opponent, and I want to be sure this is in the open.  I believe I can maintain WP standards despite these connections.
My family has a very long history with the Berman family.  Over 30 years ago, Howard Berman contributed generously to my mother's campaign for office, and Michael Berman ran her campaign.
For the past decade, Rep. Sherman has been my congressman.  I have endorsed his current campaign, and he endorsed my campaign in the election held last month.  I have never been part of his campaign or his office and have never had financial ties to him.
I am a member of the executive board of the state Democratic Party, and both congressmen have been very helpful on issues of importance to me, including both of them writing recent letters upon my recommendation to the president, the energy secretary, and the NRC regarding an issue I care about.  I like both of them and feel I have a good relationship with both.
I have had no contact with either campaign or congressional office nor with the Democratic Party or other activists regarding updating this page or Mr. Sherman's page.  I do this purely on my own as a regular WP contributor.
For the update I am doing tonight, I actually came here with the intent to remove unsourced material.  Instead, I ended up finding solid newspaper sources.  I made a small change in the article's wording to better correspond to the source material.  I believe this strengthens the article in a balanced manner.
