Rico Oller To Run for John Doolittle's Congressional Seat

slide16Rico Oller says he’ll move to Placer County to change his home address to the 4th Congressional District so he can run in the Republican primary election to replace retiring John Doolittle. Oller has been out of politics since losing a close race to current Third Congressional District Representative Dan Lungren in the 2004 primary. Amador County is in the Third District. Oller, 49, has lived in the same San Andreas house for 20 years and he is the owner of a large construction business and a ranch in Calaveras County. Oller already owns business property in Placerville and he and his wife have been shopping for a house in Placer County. Oller served two terms in the Assembly between 1996 and 2000, as well as one term in the Senate.
