ALASKA (R/AT-LARGE -- YOUNG)
A Hard Story To Tell
'06 nominee Diane Benson (D) said 5/5 that "a major focus of her campaign" for the '08 Dem nod "will be to help other women overcome violence and indifference." Benson is a "survivor of repeated sexual assaults" and now that her story is "widely known" she wants "to use her campaign to make a difference." Speaking at a presser 5/5, Benson "said more funding for shelters is needed." Benson: "I'm running (for Congress) regardless of all this stuff that's happened to me. And other women should start to get the message they too could be empowered to go on, that life is possible" (Cockerham/Demer, Anchorage Daily News, 5/6).
