McClintock moving to run for Congress
A staunchly conservative state senator from Thousand Oaks jumped into a Northern California congressional race Tuesday, saying he wanted to help return the Republican Party to the smaller-government themes sounded by Ronald Reagan. AP in the Daily News.
Sen. Tom McClintock announced in Auburn, Calif., that he would seek the GOP nomination for the seat now held by Rep. John Doolittle, R-Rocklin. Doolittle is under investigation in a congressional lobbying scandal and announced in January that he would not run for a 10th term.
