I talked to Lawrence Weisner today about the local state senate race in which he is running against Democrat Noreen Evans who currently serves in the 7th Assembly district. She is the chair of the Assembly Budget Committee and we all know what a disaster that is. The current state senator, the troubled Pat Wiggins, has been asked to step down by the Press Democrat, as well as other news outlets.
Decline-to-state candidate Ryan Sundberg has entered the 5th Supervisor's race against Democrats Pat Cleary and Pat Higgins.
As of now, Karen Brooks has challenged incumbent Wes Chesbro while Mike Thompson remains unopposed. BY JOY FINLEY
