Worthington to seek Assembly seat
This morning an article in the Bay Area Reporter disclosed city council member Kriss Worthington’s future plans for elected office.
Berkeley City Council member Kriss Worthington will launch a bid for an East Bay Assembly seat next week. The openly gay Worthington told the Bay Area Reporter that he would officially announce his campaign for the 14th District Assembly seat Monday, September 24.
The average Berkeley political figure is very liberal and Worthington is no exception. However, he has a record of helping students, which makes him one of the better local elected officials in my view. The current holder of the 14th Assembly seat Loni Hancock is being termed out.
One of my friends is considering a run for the Assembly seat on the Republican side. While I hope he wins, his chances are very, very, very bad.
