COLTON - (INT) - Pete Aguilar got a boost in his bid for Congress over the weekend from a highly placed source.

Vice-President Joe Biden swung into town Saturday for a get-out-the-vote rally at Colton High School.

Jubilant well-wishers filled the Ken Hubbs Auditorium to hear Biden's call for votes for Democratic candidates. Aguilar, the Mayor of Redlands, is the Democratic nominee for Congress in the 31st District.

Joining the rally was State Senator Alex Padilla, the Democratic candidate for Secretary of State.

Aguilar says he shares Biden’s middle-class values.

Aguliar is opposed by Republican Paul Chabot who called Biden’s local visit ‘last minute despiration’ for Aguilar’s campaign.
