Capitol Alert

The latest on California politics and government

Democrat John Eisenhut, whose bid for the Assembly narrowly fell short against Republican Bill Berryhill last year, has filed paperwork to make another run at the seat in 2010.

Eisenhut was originally considered a long-shot candidate, but as then-presidential candidate Barack Obama built momentum in California, the Democratic Party plunged resources into the race to replace termed-out GOP Assemblyman Greg Aghazarian.

Eisenhut lost to Berryhill, the brother of Assemblyman Tom Berryhill, by less than 5,000 votes.
