Calaveras County, once part of Senate District 1 represented by Ted Gaines, has found itself in Senate District 8 without an elected Senator, due to the legislative redistricting completed by the Citizens Redistricting Committee in 2012.
The Senate Rules Committee reviewed possible Senators from other districts to absord Calaveras. One thought was Leland Yee a Democrat from San Francisco representing District 8. The Committee finally chose Tom Berryhill, Republican representing the14th Senate District, which includes some of San Joaquin Valley, Escalon, Clovis, Oakdale and Ripon.
Calaveras will be able to vote for a Senator in 2014.
