DescriptionFormer Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado said today that he will run for a Central Coast congressional seat in 2012.

"Washington needs people who are independent and bipartisan and who are fiscally responsible, and I think I've demonstrated that. I'm prepared to go back to Washington and to show some results for the people of California," he said in an interview.

The Santa Maria Republican has formed a federal campaign committee to challenge Democratic Rep. Lois Capps in the 23rd Congressional District, which currently stretches along the coastline, though he acknowledged that the district and the matchup could change as a citizens commission redraws the district's boundaries.

"I will be a candidate for Congress representing my home town of Santa Maria and the Central Coast," he said. "I don't know what the district will look like, but I know I will be a candidate."
