Redding City Councilman Mark Mezzano is making a run for the State Assembly. Current District One Assemblywoman Megan Dahle will be stepping down from the seat in order to run for the State Senate position currently occupied by her husband, Brian Dahle, who’s being termed out. Mezzano, who calls himself a Conservative Republican, says his 29 years as a CHP Officer will help him with the skills to negotiate with the Democratic majority in Sacramento. Anderson City Council Member Melissa Hunt has also indicated her intention to seek the Assembly seat.
