I have confirmed that Mike Radlovic has dropped out of the race for the 60th Assembly District. Mike Radlovic, past chair of the San Gabriel Valley Lincoln Club and the runner up to Bob Pacheco in the 1998 race for the seat (It was open primary, Huff came in third)
Mike would have been a formidable candidate. See here. His ability to self-fund and his long history of GOP involvement were obvious pluses. Apparently, he had locked up political consultant Jim Nygren. Nygren helped Huff to an upset in this race four years ago. He let him go. Nygren has since signed on with Curt Hagman. See my post on him here.
Other candidates include Larry Dick, who has sources say raised over 60K at a recent fundraiser. The first financials in this race will be interesting. Other possible candidates include La Habra Heights City Councilman Stan Carroll and Tim Escobar.
