The race for the 31st Assembly District is shaping up to be one of the oddest in recent history. The seat which was formerly held by Fresno's Henry T. Perea was up this year. But at the end of 2015, Perea resigned to take a job with the pharmaceutical industry. That means there's a special election coming in April. With the combination of primaries and general elections, voters could be asked to weigh in on the race a total of four times in the next eight months.
A few weeks ago we heard from the front-runners, Republican Clint Olivier and Democrat Joaquin Arambula. But there's another name in the race, Caruthers Democrat Ted Miller. This week on Valley Edition, Miller joined us to talk about why this relative political outsider and retired engineer from Hewlett Packard is weighing into the race.
