Musical Seats...Berryhill Endorses Denham to Fill 25th Assembly District Seat.....Updated with Video and Photos |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 12/16/2009 03:23 PM

Angels Camp, CA...State Representative Tom Berryhill was on hand at Camps Restaurant at noon today talking to the Calaveras County Republican Party at their December meeting. He was on hand to say thank-you for the support he has received from the Calaveras County area and talk about his run to fill retiring Senator Cogdill's seat. If he is successful in his run his new district will no longer cover Calaveras County. The surprise retirement of Senator Dave Cogdill has set off a fury of activity within the Republican party to position their minority chess pieces in the most effective manner. Outgoing State Senator Jeff Denham had been campaigning for the Lieutenant Governor position. In changing races it gives the Republican Party a very solid candidate with good statewide recognition and also paves the way for Governor Schwarzenegger's pick of Able Maldonado an easier run at election time...
