Sieglock to run again in 10th Assembly District

Former San Joaquin County Supervisor Jack Sieglock, who narrowly lost his bid for the Assembly last year, announced today that he will try again in 2010.

The Lodi Republican lost to Democrat Alyson Huber by 474 votes out of 189,106 cast in what was an open seat that includes parts of Sacramento, El Dorado and and San Joaquin counties.

Huber, of El Dorado Hills, has already voted for tax increases that were part of the February budget deal.

"The Sacramento liberals still refuse to curb their runaway spending, and they're putting our state's economy in peril," Sieglock said in a prepared release announcing his 2010 campaign.

The release noted that Sieglock got less financial support from independent expenditure committees and the state Republican Party than other GOP candidates in competitive races and had to overcome the Democratic tide associated with Barack Obama's candidacy.

On the other hand, voter registration in the 10th Assembly District has slipped even more toward the Democrats since the presidential election, according to May 4 registration statistics from the Secretary of State.

Sacbee.com is happy to provide a forum for reader interaction, discussion, feedback and reaction to our stories. However, we reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments or ban users who can't play nice. (See our full terms of service here.)

Here are some rules of the road:

• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "report abuse" button to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.

• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.

• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.

• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his profile name and send him a direct message.

• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.

• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.

• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.

• Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.

You should also know that The Sacramento Bee does not screen comments before they are posted.
