Amador County – A few dozen constituents greeted Assemblywoman Alyson Huber in a town hall meeting Friday in downtown Jackson. Huber said it was a chance to get input from the people in Amador County at an informal level, so that people could walk in at their leisure and converse with the state legislator, who as of June 8th officially started her campaign for reelection in November, facing past foe Jack Sieglock, whom she defeated in 2008 by a 3/10ths of a percent margin (or 474 votes). Jackson Mayor Connie Gonsalves greeted Huber warmly at the Café De Coco at 140 Main Street. Gonsalves thanked Huber for bringing her “neighborhood coffee” town hall meeting to downtown Jackson. The Mayor said “she could have picked any city in Amador County.” Huber said they chose Jackson because it is centrally located in Amador. She worked the crowd, speaking with constituents, who were invited to the café setting to bring their ideas and solutions on issues in the Legislature that affect the community. Huber represents the 10th Assembly District and was officially chosen last week as the Democratic party candidate in her race for reelection, which will take place in November. Huber received 30,018 votes in being selected the Democratic party candidate, and she was unopposed, as was her opponents from other parties. Republican Jack Sieglock received 34,804 votes in being selected as his party candidate. A 4-county breakdown of returns from the June 8th primary showed Huber received 3,300 votes in Amador County, while Sieglock had 4,607. In El Dorado County, Huber had 2,182 votes, and Sieglock had 4,485. Huber had 18,363 votes in Sacramento County, compared to Sieglock’s 16,652 in the primary. In San Joaquin County, Huber had 6,173 votes, and Sieglock had 9,060. County records showed that about 212,000 Democrats and 204,000 Republicans were registered in District 10 for the primary. That included 7,156 Democrats and 9,404 Republicans in Amador County. El Dorado County has 32,000 Democrats; 47,000 Republicans; and 19,600 “non-partisan.” The District in Sacramento County had 62,000 Democrats registered, and 46,000 Republicans, plus 26,000 “decline to state.” San Joaquin County had 114,000 Democrats and 102,000 Republicans registered for the primary, and 38,700 who were “decline to state.” The Jackson meeting was part of a series of community town hall meetings Huber will be host around the 10th Assembly District. Last week she also visited El Dorado Hills, and this week will make stops at high schools in Sacramento, Stockton, and stop Thursday at the Rancho Murieta Country Club.
