Leland Yee will speak to Coastside Democrats Thursday

Assembly Speaker Pro Tem Leland Yee will speak at the next meeting of the Coastside Democrats, Thursday, Feb 2. Yee is one of three candidates for the State Senate seat, District 8, now held by Jackie Speier. Yee will speak on the upcoming race and on his legislative agenda for this year in the Assembly.

The other candidates for Speier’s seat are ex-Supervisor Mike Nevin [campaign site] and ex-Assemblyman Lou Papan [no site]. Speier is termed out of the State Senate at the end of this year and will be running for Lieutenant Governor in 2008. Yee represents the 12th Assembly District immediately north of our 19th AD. The 8th Senate District has roughly the same boundaries as the combination of the 12th and 19th ADs.
