Amador County - Democrat Alyson Huber’s Assembly campaign declared victory over Republican Jack Sieglock late last week after final vote tallies from Sacramento County swung the overall count in her favor. Huber had a 12-point lead in the southeastern part of Sacramento County included in the 10th Assembly District. In other less populated areas of the District, Sieglock led by 9 or more points. "When I started my campaign for State Assembly, many people said that this seat was not winnable,” Huber said in a statement released Wednesday afternoon. “But growing up I had overcome tougher obstacles. So I committed myself to this campaign and with the help of so many dedicated supporters we prevailed,” she added. The vote count in Amador and El Dorado counties was certified last week. According to certified results, Sieglock led in Amador County by 3,068 votes, or 54.66 percent over 37.28 percent. After the Sacramento County certification last Wednesday, the overall vote difference was 12,408 votes in Huber’s favor. According to the California Secretary of State's Web site, Sieglock led with less than 6,000 votes in San Joaquin County before the holiday. Voting officials said it was unlikely that he could overtake Huber's overall lead with the remaining outstanding ballots. As of 2pm last Wednesday, Huber led the overall race by 505 votes. Sieglock has told media outlets he does not expect to win. Story by Alex Lane (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).
