Sacramento - A key figure in the ouster of former California Governor Gray Davis is now spearheading an effort to remove Assemblywoman and 10th District Representative Alyson Huber from office. Republican activist Tony Andrade of Rancho Murieta is calling the El Dorado Hills Democrat too liberal for her district and last week served her with recall papers signed by at least 50 other people. However, Andrade’s initial effort was short lived, as the California Secretary of State's Office last Thursday rejected paperwork because it did not contain key legal language. According to state law, Andrade and other recall supporters must file paperwork with the secretary of state before collecting signatures for a recall petition. 37,821 valid signatures from registered voters are needed in the district to qualify for a ballot. Andrade has called this legal setback a minor snag on the road to Huber’s recall. Huber has said the recall is a political game that will cost taxpayers to hold another special election. Huber said the recall seems to be driven by people who didn’t like the election result. Huber’s win in last November’s election was carried by votes from more Democrat-friendly areas of the 10th District, including El Dorado Hills, and resulted in a narrow victory over her main opponent, Republican Jack Sieglock. Sieglock told TSPN he has no part in Andrade’s recall efforts. Huber also said these efforts further agitate the differences between Republicans and Democrats. Andrade served as petition manager in the 2003 recall of Gray Davis. Story by Alex Lane This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
