MEMBER OF THE STATE ASSEMBLY
39th DISTRICT - Tony Cardenas
Two years ago, Cardenas was the surprise in the Democratic field to replace the term-limited Richard Katz: A small businessman with no background in politics, he nonetheless proved to be an articulate moderate candidate, and pulled off an upset victory in the June primary. His first term in the Assembly seems fairly lackluster by comparison, but he's earned the chance for a second term.
