Dan Logue To Run for Vacant 4th District Senate Seat
North State Assemblyman and Chief Minority Whip Dan Logue today formally announced that he is a candidate to replace former 4th District Senator Doug LaMalfa.
Late Friday, State Sen. Doug LaMalfa announced his resignation from the Senate in anticipation of his Congressional race. It is anticipated that the special election to fill the seat will be consolidated with the November General Election. A small business owner and staunch opponent of government waste and over-regulation, Dan Logue has served two terms in the Assembly where he has taken the lead in restoring California’s beleaguered economy.
About Logue, Congressman Tom McClintock stated, “Dan Logue is one of the great forces in the Assembly, Californians could not possibly have a more fearless or energetic defender against over-reaching bureaucracy than Dan Logue.”
Logue has clearly established himself as California’s leading voice to revitalize the economy and keep jobs and businesses in California. The National Federation of Independent Business has awarded Logue a perfect score based on his voting record and support of small business. His widespread efforts have also drawn the attention of media outlets across the nation, including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, FOX News, CNBC and the Los Angeles Times
“For nearly four years it has been my distinct honor to serve the voters of the North State In the Legislature,” stated Logue. “Since Senator LaMalfa announced he was resigning, I have been inundated with calls from friends and supporters from throughout the North State encouraging me to run for the State Senate. After much prayer and discussion with my wife and family, I am confident that with their counsel and support that in the State Senate we can continue to be effective in advocating for the North State and for fixing California’s broken economy.”
“I know that California’s economy and California families are struggling, businesses are leaving and taking jobs with them.”
As the Chairman of the Caucus Task Force on Jobs and Economic Recovery Logue has defined the greatest challenge confronting California. “The challenge of our time is to build bipartisan consensus that leads to real reforms. Reforms, which reduce regulatory and tax burdens, encourages business and job growth and restores our economy. I have a record of doing just that.”
“As a small business owner for 30 years, I understand the challenges that working families are facing in California and I think about them every day,” stated Logue. “I am committed to doing everything I can to fight to restore opportunity, hope and economic prosperity to California.”

THIS PATHETIC EXAMPLE OF POLITICAL MUSICAL CHAIRS MAKES ONE REVISIT IDEA OF TERM LIMITS, AND THE KIND THAT PREVENT THESE SAME OLD TIRED FACES FROM PLAYING MUSICAL CHAIRS AT THE COST OF GOOD GOVERNMENT. NOT EVEN JUMPING FROM ASSEMBLY TO SENATE, WITHOUT FIVE YEARS IN BETWEEN. GIVEN THE POSITIONS OF THE FACES WE KEEP SEEING ONE CANNNOT HELP TO THINK IT IS TIME FOR A NEW POLITICAL SYSTEM,…THAT SERVES THE PEOPLE AND NOT THESE RIGHT WING FANATICS. SAME WOULD GO TO SUCH LEFT WING FANATICS, BUT NOT WHAT WE ARE DEALING WITH.
CAN ANYONE CITE ANY MAJOR LEGISLATIVE VICTORY/BILL THAT ANY OF THESE FOLKS HAVE MADE IN ALL THE YEARS OF THEIR LONMG TERM POLITICAL CAREERS. DIDN’T THINK SO.
I KNOW THIS RANT HAS PROBLEMS IN EXECUTION.
Curtis,
Nope but I can point to a piece of legislation the Dems torpedoed that would have made most Californians happy, SB 810.

“Yesterday, however, four Democrats sat out the critical vote, leaving the bill short 2 votes of the 21 votes needed for passage. 19 Democrats voted yes, 15 Republicans and 1 Democrat voted no. And the key remaining four Democrats abstained.”
so when are we going to have a moderate run in our districts? all we get is “the party of no” repubs and “kombaya” dems….i’d like to see a real common sense person run for assembly or senate who might help our community instead of helping their party…sad so sad…
BTW, Neilsen will run against Logue:

I think what disturbs me most is the point that Dan Logue will be on the ballot for two positions, for the Assembly in one district and the Senate in another, at once…but then again so is Paul Ryan, but at least in his case he could not do anything about it even if he wanted to.
Once again I find myself questioning the credibility of the republican party that only have 2 or 3 quality candidates in North East California that has overwhelming registration advantage? McClintock is from So California and we have 2 or 3 guys falling all over themselves playing musical districts because of the registration advantage. How can they claim any kind of loyalty to their constituents? This is the epitome of candidates running to represent their party interests instead of their district.
In a case such as you site, Ben, I would think personal interest–keep his own momentum going–counts more than anything. But certainly, the constituents of the district come in last.
