'''Craig Alan Huey''' (born June 16, 1950) is an {{wipe|United States}} Republican Party politician who was the Republican nominee in the redistricted 2012 66th State Assembly district election in California. Prior to that, Huey ran for Congress in the 2011 special election to replace Jane Harman.

Huey is a businessman who runs and owns two [[Finance:Direct marketing|direct marketing]] companies as well as several websites that provide guidelines for voting. A conservative political activist, he ran with [[Social:Tea Party movement|Tea Party]] backing, donor-backing, and self-financing in California's 36th congressional district special election to fill the seat left vacant by the resignation of long term Democratic U.S. Representative Jane Harman.<ref name="race outcome"/><ref name="square off"/> Huey was one of the top two finalists in California's first open primary, which was held on May 17, 2011. He faced Democratic Los Angeles City Councilwoman Janice Hahn in the general election runoff on July 12, 2011, losing the election by a margin of 54.6% to 45.4%.<ref name="special election"/>

==Early life and education==
Huey grew up in Hawthorne, California, and graduated from El Segundo High School.<ref name="square off"/> He attended [[Organization:California State University, Long Beach|California State University, Long Beach]], earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science with minors in history and economics.<ref name="smartvoter"/>

==Business career==
Huey became wealthy running direct marketing firms.<ref name="bowen concedes"/><ref name="takes aim"/> He was said to be an expert in [[Advertising mail|direct mail]] marketing in the 1990s,<ref name="internet focus"/> later gaining expertise and recognition for his internet marketing. He is president of Creative Direct Marketing Group of Torrance and InfoMat.<ref name="smartvoter"/>

Although the 2011 special election was his first run for office, he has been involved in politically related activities for years. He served on party committees including the Republican Central Committee, and has been an informal adviser to candidates.<ref name="smartvoter"/> He runs three non-profit voter advisory websites for [[Religion:Evangelicalism|evangelical Christians]]<ref name="long odds"/> including the ''2011 California Election Forum Website'', which has the stated purpose of "Helping Christians vote for, not against, their Biblical values" by describing the candidates' views on various social issues from the point of view of a conservative Christian.<ref name="election forum"/>

===Direct marketing===
After college, Huey began work at InfoMat, a mailing list-[[Finance:Market segmentation|market segmentation]] company, and became the owner and president of the company three years later. In 1984, he founded Creative Direct Marketing Group, Inc. (CDMG), a firm that provides [[Advertising mail|direct mail]], [[Finance:Direct marketing|direct marketing]] websites, direct response television, [[Finance:Infomercial|infomercial]]s, radio commercials and web-based marketing services.<ref name="cdmg home page"/><ref name="cnmg services"/> CDMG's client list of more than 200 companies includes many large corporations.<ref name="cdmg clients"/> Huey pioneered the magalog, created a proprietary direct marketing system and developed the internet [[Landing page|landing page]] as a tool for marketers. He has been recognized for his effective use of [[Social:Viral marketing|viral marketing]] and list segmentation.<ref name= "cdmg viva"/> His agencies have received 73 marketing awards;<ref name="cdmg awards"/> including the 2011 Best of Show Email Message WebAward from the Web Marketing Association.<ref name="iac award"/>

===Publishing and public speaking activities===
In 1977, Huey launched the industry newsletter ''Direct Response'' and in 2001, the ''Direct Marketing Update'' [[Online magazine|e-zine]]. Articles by and about Huey have appeared in ''Inc.'', ''[[Software:USA Today|USA Today]]'', ''Target Marketing'', ''Christianity Today'' and ''Adweek''.<ref name="megalogs"/><ref name="biggest threat"/><ref name="direct approach"/> In 2010 he published an article about the inefficiencies of the United States Postal Service, arguing for full privatization.<ref name="biggest threat"/><ref name="how to save"/> He has given numerous speeches at the national Direct Marketing Association (DMA) annual meeting:<ref name="google profile"/> as well as for DMA affiliates and other organizations listed in his company profile. In early 2011, he spoke for the third time at the FreedomFest World Economic Summit in [[Place:Nassau, Bahamas|Nassau, Bahamas]].<ref name="freedomfest"/>

==Community activism==
Huey founded three voter information and political discussion websites: ''JudgeVoterGuide.com'', ''LAVoterGuide.com'', and ''ElectionForum.org''. He publishes the twice-monthly ''Reality Alert'' online newsletter.<ref name="reality alert"/> He has also appeared on Los Angeles' Fox 11 News as a political analyst,<ref name="fox news"/> and has been a frequent guest on radio programs for the LA market and Internet syndication.<ref name="religious travel"/><ref name="frank pastore"/><ref name="liberty speaks"/><ref name="calvary chapel"/>

He has served on local committees, including as chairman (a rotating chairmanship) of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District Measure P Parcel Tax Committee<ref name="parcel tax">{{cite web|title=Parcel Tax Annual Report|url=http://www.pvpusd.k12.ca.us/community/measurep/index.htm}}</ref> and as president of Peninsula Residents for a Better Community. His op-eds have been published in the South Bay weekly newspaper, ''The Daily Breeze''.<ref name="la voter guide"/><ref name="hrPeople"/>

==Campaign for Congress==
Huey ran for election to the United States House of Representatives in {{wipe|California}}'s 36th congressional district and edged out Democratic Secretary of State Debra Bowen to finish second in the jungle primary, (an election in which all candidates run in the same primary regardless of political party). The election went to a runoff, which was decided on July 12, 2011, when Democrat Janice Hahn defeated Huey with 54.6 percent of the vote to his 45.4 percent. Hahn will serve out the remainder of Democrat Jane Harman's term in the House.

===Political positions===
''LA Weekly'' credits Huey with having a "red meat message that Republican voters wanted to hear."<ref name="takes aim"/> He believes the deficit, taxes and regulations on businesses must be cut, and that these cuts will give business owners the incentive to create and bring back jobs.<ref name="smartvoter"/><ref name="takes aim"/> He supports a constitutional amendment that will require Congress to balance the federal budget each year.<ref name="smartvoter"/> He says he will oppose [[Social:Pork barrel|pork barrel]] spending that rewards special interests and will work to defeat wasteful programs.<ref name="smartvoter"/> He is opposed to California's anti-global warming law, (AB 32), and believes that the health care law passed under Obama is unconstitutional and that it will destroy businesses.<ref name="takes aim"/>  He also supports term limits for Congress.<ref name="termlimits"/> He has said he will not moderate his positions for the general election and that radical changes are needed.<ref name="takes aim"/>

===Primary election===
Huey faced 16 candidates in California's first "top two" primary, a new voter-approved open primary for California federal elections in which candidates for all parties appear on the same ballot, and voters—regardless of their registration—can choose candidates from any party.<ref name="republican advances"/><ref name="election runoff"/> If no candidate receives 50 percent or more of the votes, a run-off election is held 60 days later between the two top vote-getters.<ref name="republican advances"/><ref group="nb">According to Eric Kleefeld of TPMDC, "This system allows for the possibility of two Democrats or two Republicans facing off in very safe districts, which is thought to benefit more moderate candidates, though in statewide races and swing districts there will likely be one Dem vs. one GOPer.", ''see'' {{cite news |url=http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/05/dem-hahn-vs-goper-huey-for-ca-36-special-election-runoff.php#more |title=Dem Hahn Vs. GOPer Huey For CA-36 Special Election Runoff}}</ref>

With so many contenders, it was expected that the election would go to a run off as no single candidate would likely receive a majority of the votes.<ref name="challengers"/> Because the district has been strongly Democratic in previous elections, with Democratic voter registrations exceeding Republican registrations by 45% to 27.5%, conventional wisdom held that the two Democrats, Hahn and California Secretary of State Debra Bowen, would compete in the general election.<ref name="election runoff"/><ref name="challengers"/> Media coverage had also centered on the two Democrats, ignoring Republican candidates, including Huey.<ref name="bowen concedes"/> Huey then beat Bowen for second place by more than 750 votes, scoring something of an upset.<ref name="election runoff"/> Huey attributed his strong performance in the primary to the message he directed at independents, Democrats and Republicans who are dissatisfied with the economy.<ref name="republican advances"/> The $500,000 that Huey invested in his own campaign and the direct mail advertising he sent to district homes in the conservative South Bay area also contributed to his victory, according to local sources.<ref name="bowen concedes"/><ref name="argonaut"/> He was endorsed in the primary by local business leaders, California GOP congressmen Dana Rohrabacher, Ed Royce and [[Biography:Tom McClintock|Tom McClintock]], and Indiana congressman Mike Pence.<ref name="race for"/>

===General election===
''The National Journal'' said that Huey was still facing long odds in the general election, noting that more than 56 percent of the primary voters cast ballots for Democratic Party candidates, and that DCCC Chair Steve Israel had called the district "staunchly Democratic".<ref name="bowen concedes"/> Following his primary victory, Huey pledged to spend $800,000 toward his general election expenses.<ref name="square off"/> He was hailed as a conservative hero according to ''LA Weekly'', and said of his opponent "She won't know what's gonna hit her".<ref name="takes aim"/>

===Campaign ads===
In early June 2011 a Hahn television ad compared Huey's positions on abortion, Medicare reform and tax cuts to those of Sarah Palin, and quoted Huey as saying that Planned Parenthood is a "murder mill".<ref name="hahn blasts"/><ref name="huey to palin"/> Huey's campaign consultant criticized the ad, saying it was a negative smear that insults voters' intelligence.<ref name="huey to palin"/> When contacted by the fact-checking site Politifact, the consultant clarified that the "murder mill" language was not a quote from Huey, but had been posted on his website by a staffer.<ref name="politifact"/>

An anti-Hahn campaign video appeared on [[Company:YouTube|YouTube]] on June 14, 2011,<ref name="give us"/> that falsely depicted Hahn as a [[Engineering:Pole dance|pole dance]]r with red eyes who is friendly to hip hop gang members who call her "bitch" and pull money out of her waistband.<ref name="video roils"/><ref name="tpm"/> The video generated national attention.<ref name="huey calls"/> Democratic leaders and Hahn called it offensive and sexist.<ref name="video roils"/> Huey's campaign quickly issued a statement clarifying that "the video has no connection whatsoever to the Craig Huey campaign", agreeing the video was offensive and inappropriate.<ref name="video roils"/><ref name="huey calls"/> The California Republican Party also distanced itself from the ad, affirming that the ad was not connected with either the campaign or the state party.<ref name="tpm"/> The following day, Huey told ''Politico'': "The ad is blatantly racist and sexist and neither racism nor sexism has any place in the public sphere".<ref name="huey denounces"/> The video was sponsored by a one-week-old political action committee called Turn Right USA PAC,<ref name="tpm"/> and produced by Ladd Ehlinger, Jr., described by political analyst David Weigel as a "rogue conservative filmmaker".<ref name="most offensive"/> Subsequently, Hahn's campaign filed a complaint with the FEC, alleging that Turn Right USA and Huey's campaign had engaged in an illegal degree of coordination and communication because, among other things, Turn Right USA's founder was a former Huey campaign volunteer, and the organization shared a mailing address with a campaign sign vendor that Huey had used.<ref name="redondo patch"/>

===Polling===
According to ''USA Today'', a poll conducted by the ''Daily Kos'' and Services Employees International Union shortly before the July 2011 election had Hahn with an 8-point lead over Huey, (52 percent to 44 percent) with 4 percent undecided.<ref name=poll/>

==Personal life==
Huey was first married to Angela Combs; the couple eventually separated and divorced circa 1991.<ref name="exwife"/> Huey has three adult children from the marriage who have all graduated from college.

Huey and his wife Shelly live in Rolling Hills Estates, just outside the 36th District.<ref name="for congress"/> (Residency within the district is not required to run for the office, and Huey has indicated his home was once in the district but was gerrymandered out of it).<ref name="seatrunoff"/> He also believes that redistricting in 2011 will bring his residence back into the district.<ref name="square off"/> He and Shelly attend Kings Harbor Church, an [[Religion:Evangelicalism|Evangelical]] Christian church.<ref name="for congress"/> He met Shelly at a Bible studies class. He has served as a youth pastor for junior high and high school students, and as a teacher for single adults.
