Region - Republican Jack Sieglock has announced he’ll make another bid in 2010 for the 10th District Assembly seat won by Democrat Alyson Huber last November. Described as one of the harder fought campaigns of 2008, Huber narrowly beat out Sieglock by 474 votes. Sieglock’s lead was anywhere from 9 percentage points to 25 percentage points in San Joaquin, El Dorado and Amador counties, but Huber held a healthy 12-point lead in the more populated areas of Sacramento County. Amador County voted predominantly for Sieglock, 54.55 percent over 37.50 percent. “Maybe six months ago, people didn't think it would be this close. They thought it would be a safe Republican seat,” said Huber, days before her victory was announced. If he were voted in, Sieglock would have become the second consecutive Lodian to gain the seat after Republican Alan Nakanishi termed out. Sieglock — a former Lodi city councilman — said the district remains mostly conservative and he's looking to capitalize on that in the next election. Sieglock claims Huber’s agenda proposes even larger government programs that will take money from taxpayers. Story by Alex Lane This email address is being protected from spambots.
