CA: SPECIAL HOLIDAY REPORT: Q&A with state Sen.-elect Mark Leno
Posted by admin under Politicker.com
SAN FRANCISCO - From many perspectives, Mark Leno has been breaking barriers through much of his political life.
Leno, 57, started out in politics as a gay rights and community activist. He has served on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and just completed three successful terms in the California Assembly, representing AD-13.
In the spring of this year Leno took the unusual step of taking on and beating incumbent state Senator Carole Migden and former state legislator Joe Nation for control of Migden's SD-03 seat, representing the heart of San Francisco.
While maintaining a full-time political life, Leno is also credited for running a small but successful sign company. When he takes the oath of office Monday, Leno will be the first openly gay male in the state Senate.
PolitickerCA.com caught up with Leno recently for an hour-long interview at his San Francisco district offices. While a harried staff has been was busily moving the senator-elect's files and belongings down the hallway to Migden's old offices, Leno has been focusing on his 2009 legislative agenda - one that no doubt will put him before the glare of TV cameras in Sacramento as he continues the fight for gay marriage and such issues as single-payer health care reform.

CA: McClintock to speak Monday, informally claims CA-04 win
Posted by admin under Politicker.com
State Sen. Tom McClintock (R-Thousand Oaks) informally claimed victory in his congressional race this week, and said he will address the media Monday afternoon at his Roseville campaign headquarters to make a more formal announcement.
McClintock, who would move from his Southern California base to represent the 4th Congressional District, said in an informal e-mail message to supporters that he believed both that he had won the race and that the margin was too large for a recount to make a difference.
