| Description | Profile: Wilson Runs for Assembly District 15 – The Priciest Piece of Political Real Estate in the State
San Ramon Mayor Abram Wilson is confident as he warms up for another run at the 15th State Assembly District; In 2008, Wilson and Joan Buchanan spent $3.5 million on their campaigns, making it possibly the priciest Assembly seat in the state.
By Phil Hayworth | August 9, 2010
H. Abram Wilson instinctively knows what all famous, formerly vanquished politicians know: The art of politics is in the comeback, and failure is a lousy way to learn a lesson.
"Losing sucks," Wilson says flatly.
The 63-year-old mayor of San Ramon, who lost a run for the 15th State Assembly seat to Democrat and fellow San Ramon Valley resident Joan Buchanan by five percentage points in 2008, will take another shot at the seat when he battles Buchanan again on Nov. 2.
Wilson figures he's got a better-than-average chance of winning the 15th Assembly in November for the Republican Party. Political winds have shifted. Americans are worried about jobs and budget deficits even as the love affair with Obama wanes.
"I'm in this thing to win," he says.
