Lt. Gov. John Garamendi, an early candidate forgovernor in 2010, recently announced that he will drop efforts to become theGolden State's next chief executive and instead run to replace U.S.Rep. Ellen Tauscher in the 10th Congressional District.
Garamendi, ala Gavin Newsom, made the announcement via Twitter, Facebook and
YouTube and during in-person stops in Concord and Fairfield.
