After reading the electoral winds or the home fires, or what not, Sen Leland Yee has decided to stay out of the CA-12 race:
I am humbled by the outpouring of support from the people of San Francisco and San Mateo County who have encouraged me to run for Congress. However, at this time, my family and I have decided it is best to continue the work started in the State Senate. I am committed to addressing the critical issues currently before the State Legislature, including providing universal healthcare and protecting services for our working families. In the years to come, I look forward to working with the next member of Congress in serving the residents of the Peninsula.
With Yee out, it's hard to imagine anybody else who can come close to challenging Jackie Speier. But, all the same, I hear from Ms. Speier that she will be diligently beating the bushes for votes between now and June, and then November. |
