From the Sacramento Bee:
Assemblyman Sam Blakeslee’s campaign for Senate received a big boost Friday with an additional $150,000 contribution from the California Republican Party, state records show.
The GOP previously had donated $200,000 to Blakeslee’s bid to win the Senate seat vacated by Abel Maldonado’s selection for lieutenant governor. The coastal district stretches from Santa Cruz and Santa Clara counties south to Santa Barbara.
Blakeslee, R-San Luis Obispo, finished ahead of former Democratic Assemblyman John Laird of Santa Cruz in a June 22 primary election, but the Republican legislator fell just short of the majority needed to capture the seat outright.
