Description | Campaigns and independent groups have poured more than $2 million into the 15th Senate District special election battle between GOP Assemblyman Sam Blakeslee and former Democratic Assemblyman John Laird.
The seat is targeted as one that could switch parties this election cycle. Democrats now have a six-point registration advantage in the district, which had a slight GOP registration edge when Republican Abel Maldonado was first elected in 2004.
Blakeslee and Laird are two of the four candidates running to replace Maldonado, who was appointed lieutenant governor. Independent groups have spent more than $1 million to boost one of the front-runners to victory. |
