Scott Peter&#8217;s coveted spot as the representative of the 52nd congressional district.

Not only was the CEO of Mitek, but he previously worked for Qualcomm, and co-invented technology company that allows users to deposit checks using a mobile phone. This experience will help him bring new light to the 52nd district\u2019s notable high-tech sector, as well as approach the hospitality and defense sectors in new innovative ways.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In contrast to DeBello\u2019s much-needed fresh perspective lies Rep. Peters, another example of an establishment Democrat masquerading as a moderate. He presents himself as a sort of centrist Democrat\u2014which is now an oxymoron\u2014but his record places him alongside the likes of far-left Democrats like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, Peters has remained committed to blindly following House Speaker Nancy Pelosi&#8217;s agenda, which is the sole reason he now favors impeaching President Trump after being against it for so long.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">And now we are assigned another solemn task by the Constitution and by current events.
