Conservative Talk Show Host and Former San Diego Mayor

The following comments were taken from Roger's website after interviewing Scott Turner:
"Roger cannot vote in the 50th but there has been such demand for him to state a preference that it was necessary to offer an opinion.
After interviewing every candidate (save Busby who refused to appear on the radio) Roger decided that the man best suited to serve the residents of the 50th is Republican Scott Turner.
You can listen to Roger’s rationale on his website. Today’s broadcast is archived at this location: http://rogerhedgecock.com/content/view/49/73/

"The first time I met Scott, I told him that he would be a star in the US Congress. As I became acquainted with Scott, I saw that he is a very caring and compassionate man with great courage. I have seen him up front and personal dealing with people and helping them with their problems. When Hurricane Katrina hit, he responded immediately to volunteer with a search and rescue mission in New Orleans with Rescue Task Force. Scott Turner has exemplary character and is a great American."

"Scott Turner represents a real choice for Congress. Whatever Scott lacks in experience, he more than makes up for in personal integrity, an indomitable drive and a genuine concern for the well being of others. That means more to me than years of experience in the old style of politics."

"Scott Turner and his wife Robin are my and my wife Sally Tsui Wong’s neighbors. They are a team, and their past fame comes from the hard and fair playing field of professional football, yet personal neighborliness is what Sally and I most value. There is nothing finer than good neighbors, particularly of obvious character and integrity, industry and will.
Sally and I are pleased to support Scott Turner for Congress. As lawyers we have gained through trials and tribulations in professional lives, ability to size up individuals, to sort quality from the occasional staggering disappointments. Scott Turner offers voters fresh opportunity to vote for industry, character, American values and we need such in office today. It is a pleasure to support a man who is, already a winner and is striving to share his proven personal qualities on political front."

The determination, commitment and dedication that Scott displayed as a leader in the NFL will be the same attributes he will bring to the city of San Diego and on Capitol Hill. I do not hesitate to support Scott and give him my endorsements."

"Knowing Scott Turner has allowed me to see a living definition of integrity, passion, victory, and what it takes to be steadfast. I've had the honor to see a man placed in a world of athletics, where certain unfaithful acts are accepted, yet he chose to stay faithful to his wife and beliefs with out compromising his identity to fit in. I was able to witness people saying "you're not good enough to play in the NFL", while accumulating nine seasons in the sport for which he had great passion. I've seen how Scott has turned challenges and trials into opportunities to grow into a great man, successful in all areas of life. I continually see a man with the unswerving loyalty and strength to stand up for what he believes in: truth, character, what is right, loved ones, and now, the constituents he will represent. Scott Turner exemplifies the standard of excellence that I continually try to follow."

Scott Turner is the personification of integrity. His character is impeccable and is exactly the type of representation that our district desperately needs. He has an amazing ability to make those around him better and is without a doubt the most self-less person I have ever met.
Scott goes so far out of his way to bring joy, leadership and friendship to those in need. He has the ability to identify a problem, create and execute a solution for the sole purpose of outcome, not recognition. How many politicians can say that?

"As a teammate of Scott's, I know him as a hardworking, well prepared individual with remarkable character. Scott's work ethic is complimented by his strong listening and communication skills. While I was a Charger, we elected Scott as our player representative because he cared deeply about the issues facing us collectively as players and we felt he had the tools to effectively represent our interests and communicate them to league management. Although he is a skilled listener and willing to hear many sides of an issue, Scott Turner is a man of character whose actions and decisions always reflect his tremendous faith and integrity. I believe Scott Turner has the work ethic, communication skills, intelligence and integrity to serve in Congress and I am proud to endorse his candidacy."

"Scott Turner is a breath of the freshest air. I have known Scott for over seven years and not once in that time have I seen that man flinch in the face of confrontation, tragedy, or pressure. He is a man of integrity in spite of the opposition; he lives by principles through thick and thin, highs and lows. He is one of the few people that I trust with my life. Everybody who encounters Scott comes away knowing that they have been in the presence of greatness. He is exactly what we need in our capitol. This country needs Scott Turner in Congress and in the future in the Oval Office."

"I first met Scott while I was at the White House, during his time in
Washington
with Congressman Duncan Hunter. I have kept in close contact with him ever since, because from the moment I first met he and Robin, I have been impressed with his integrity and passion. I know that Scott will fight hard for the people of the 50th Congressional District, and he will be effective in that fight. Scott is not just running for a job - he is running for a cause - the cause of the people of the 50th District. And that's why I am so excited that he is running.
My grandfather lived in the 50th Congressional district for several years, and I have spent a lot of time there. That is absolutely one of the most beautiful places in the country, and it’s full of great people. I would be ecstatic if those people could have Scott Turner representing them in Congress. And in fact, all Americans will benefit from having a person like Scott in
Washington
. He stands for the ideals and values we need more of, and he backs them up with the passion you need to fight. I've spent a lot of time in the halls of Congress, and two of the most important qualities a Congressman needs for success is passion and tenacity. Scott Turner has demonstrated those qualities in every aspect of his life, and that's why he will make a great Congressman. I can’t wait to see what he will accomplish."

I believe being a man of integrity has to be who you are by what you practice in your life everyday. You can just look at a man's wife and close relationships with people to find the truth. I believe Scott is that man. Not only is he a man of integrity, he has a real heart for the people. There is not a better man for this time for this job to represent the people.

"I know Scott on a business, professional and personal level and I consider him a true friend and a great example of strong leadership and humility by his actions and achievements. By taking a stand on integrity and moral values rather than on personal or political agendas Scott will not compromise in representing the interest of the 50th district “For the good of the community.” "

"I have known Scott Turner since 1998, when we played for the San Diego Chargers Football Club. When I first met Scott, I knew he was more than just another teammate. Our careers have taken us to different football organizations since we met, but I had the pleasure of playing alongside Scott once again in Denver, Colorado. Through the years Scott and I have continued to remain in contact regardless of where our life journeys have taken us. I admire Scott not only for what he has accomplished, but for what he stands for. Scott Turner is a man of integrity, wise in his decision making and a valor for all men. He is respected and admired for his words of wisdom, encouragement and honesty. I see Scott as a man of faith and commitment. He is more than a conqueror; he is a man who sees what cannot be seen and what will come."

I am so proud to have coached him and to have watched him mature. I am delighted that Scott is running for the United States Congress. He has the character, integrity, intelligence and sensitivity to others that is so desperately needed in representing our people. I trust Scott Turner completely with the major decisions that would make in Congress. There are so few people made of the strong morale fiber of Scott Turner."
