State Senate
The only change in the Senate Democratic Leadership team in 2010 was the replacement of Senator Jenny Oropeza with Senator Alex Padilla on the Senate Rules Committee. The Senate Republicans elected Senator Robert Dutton as the person to take over as Senate Minority Leader when Senator Hollingsworth leaves office in November 2010 due to term limits.
In the 2009 Digest of Legislation, it was noted that Senator John Benoit who represented Senate District 37 was appointed by the Governor to the Riverside County Board of Supervisors. On June 8th, Assemblymember William Emmerson filled the vacancy left by Senator Benoit in the special general election. Senator Emmerson defeated former Assemblymember Russell Bogh in the April 13, 2010 special primary election but was unable to obtain 50% plus 1 to win the election outright.
On April 27, 2010, Senator Abel Maldonado was sworn in as Lieutenant Governor to fill the vacancy left by John Garamendi who was elected to the United States Congress in a special election in 2009. As indicated in the 2009 Digest of Legislation, Senator Maldonado had been nominated by the Governor to replace Lieutenant Governor Garamendi. However, his nomination was defeated in the Assembly in early 2010. However, the Governor re-nominated him and he was successfully confirmed, went on to win the Republican Primary against Senator Sam Aanestad, and is facing Mayor Gavin Newsom in the General Election. On June 22, 2010, a special primary election was held to fill the vacancy in Senate District 15 left by Senator Maldonado's ascendancy to Lieutenant Governor. At the election, Assemblymember Sam Blakeslee ran against former State Assemblymember John Laird and two other candidates. No candidate won 50% plus 1 in the primary. On August 17, 2010, the special general election was held and resulted Assemblymember Blakeslee defeating John Laird.
On July 13, 2010, Senator Dave Cox passed away leaving a vacancy in Senate District 1. A special primary election will be held on November 2, 2010 to fill the vacancy. At this time Assemblymembers Roger Niello and Ted Gaines have announced their candidacy for the seat. As a memorial to Senator Cox, the State Senate named the Senate coffee lounge Cox's Club House.
