"I'm pleased that the two counties I represent won't be forced to hold an expensive election at a time when they simply can't afford it. I'm grateful to all those who voiced their support of me throughout this process.

I look forward to finding solutions to the state's budget and economic problems and will continue to work hard for the residents in my district and throughout California."
