Former Assemblyman Anthony Portantino has only been home from Sacramento for six months, but the La Cañada Flintridge resident is already gearing up for his next shot at office — the State Senate seat in the 25th district.
That seat, currently held by Carol Liu (D-La Cañada Flintridge), will open up in 2016 when Liu must leave office due to term limits. The 25th district, established during last year's redistricting, includes Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena and La Cañada.
Portantino, a Democrat, said Friday that he is getting back into politics because people in his district want him to keep pushing for transparency in government and funding for education.
