Brown targets 1980 Democratic nomination with David versus Goliath stance
California Governor Edmund G Brown Jr declares a long haul bid for the Democratic nomination, framing it as a marathon against Carter and Kennedy. He admits a distant third in polls and funds but vows persistence, hitchhiking if needed, while pledging to challenge welfare programs and press a nationwide campaign through early primaries. Brown acknowledges weak party support from 1976 and faces a tight fundraising path ahead of New Hampshire and Massachusetts votes. He notes past gains in 1976 against Carter in three states and outlines his plan to maintain a campaigning pace despite limited resources.
