The Contra Costa Republican Assembly, the Conservative Voice of the Republican Party, Wednesday night held a straw poll for that party’s nomination for the Assembly District-15 race on June 3. Both Rao and San Ramon Councilmember, Abram Wilson, appealed to the members in attendance, on the basis of their conservative principals and experience. Livermore businessman, Robert Rao, won the straw poll of those in attendance.
Similar conservative bona fides aside, Rao emphasized his business acumen, while Wilson stressed his public record as councilmember and mayor of San Ramon. The endorsement required a two-thirds vote. After the result was announced the group expressed its sincere thanks and best wishes for Wilson.
Scott Kamena and Judy Lloyd, also running for the Republican nomination, did not attend.

Dr. Scott Kamena will win the Republican nomination with over 50% of the vote, and go on to win in November. Rao is a joke. Judy is over her head. And Wilson is were he belongs already. Kamena will go on to be one of the best Assemblymen to ever represent this area.
Great. The Dems would love nothing more than to run against a used car salesman with a criminal record who has been sued over 100 times.
Looks like it will be Assemblywoman Buchanan!
