Assemblyman Sam Blakeslee made a major announcement from his home on Friday. He said he's running for the 15th Senate District Seat which was vacated by Lieutenant Governor Abel Maldonado. The republican currently represents the 33rd Assembly District that covers San Luis Obispo County and parts of Santa Barbara County. Blakeslee said, "California's facing daunting challenges. We face one of the worst unemployment rates in the nation. We face an ever more challenging economic environment globally and we have a broken dysfunctional budget system which is in bad need of reform. I believe the Central Coast needs and deserves vigorous representation." Another possible candidate for the Senate seat is Assemblyman John Laird, a Democrat from Santa Cruz.
