The Changing of the Guard

The Honorable

Patty Berg

CA Assembly, D1

2002-2008

My three terms in the Assembly are at an end. I leave office at the end of the month. We have been through a lot together. ...  This really has been the opportunity of a lifetime, and I am eternally grateful to you for the great honor it has been to represent you in our state Capitol. It is not easy to leave the Legislature: not because I desire to hold onto the office, but because there is so much work undone. It is just my nature to stick with a project until it is finished. The budget, for example, remains un-tamed, and the current recession promises to make balancing it more difficult than ever. But the work of public service, by its nature, is never completed. It constantly calls to the next person and to the next generation to come lend a hand, to share the re-sponsibilities of community life. To those of you who would step forward and serve your community, I wish you well. And to all of you, please accept my sincere and heartfelt Thank You.

When I started my campaign for State Assembly, many people said that this seat was not winnable.  But growing up I had overcome tougher obstacles.  So I committed myself to this campaign and with the help of so many dedicated supporters we prevailed.  I want to thank my friends, campaign staff and volunteers, our supporters and especially my family for their sacrifice during this long campaign.  Our state is obviously facing a severe economic crisis, but I look forward to facing these challenges and serving the constituents of the 10th Assembly District.

The Honorable

Alyson Huber

CA Assembly D10
