A couple legislative races in California appear to be over before the filing deadline.  On the other side of the aisle they have a couple races that fall into this category. 

One of them is San Francisco County Supervisor Tom Ammiano.  At the last reporting period he had $151,067 in the bank and most every major endorsement in the city he could want.

He is the only candidate to file a statement of intent to tun for the seat. The people in San Francisco  tell me that some groups would like to find someone to run against him but they realize that it is a losing cause in the end.

This guy is the classic urban liberal that is active in every major issue in his city.  With the voting history of this part of the state he is actually a good it for the district.  Senator Migden and Assemblyman Leno don’t seem to agree on much lately — except that Ammiano should be in the Assembly.

You may not know him now but you will when he is in Sacramento.  This guy is going to be active in many policy areas.

You can see an article here that would give you a good idea of his views on illegal immigration.  He is going to be a complete advocate for universal health care. 

His next appearance on this blog will likely be when Jon posts the twenty worst bills of the year.  Prediction —  Ammiano will have at least two of them in 2009.
