Elk Grove resident is lone Democrat in race for Congress
SMUD board of directors member Bill Slaton did some thinking over the long Thanksgiving weekend, and what he decided to do may turn a lot more attention to Elk Grove.
He dropped out of the race for the District 3 congressional seat currently held by Rep. Dan Lungren (R-Gold River), leaving an Elk Grove resident as the only Democratic challenger.
That Democrat is Ami Bera, a physician and former medical official.
