Todd Turoci bows out of Assembly race

Tracie Troha, the new Hesperia/county reporter for the Daily Press, has the story:

Planning Commissioner Todd Turoci announced on Wednesday he is dropping out of the race for the 59th Assembly District.

Turoci, 43, who announced his candidacy in July, said he decided to withdrawal from the campaign after realizing he would not be able to balance being a single parent and representing his constituents as an assemblyman.

“If I won I would be away from my children, who range in age from 7 to 13 years, for six years,” Turoci said. “I realized I couldn’t do both jobs effectively.”

Turoci’s departure leaves Anthony Adams of Hesperia and three Los Angeles County candidates in the race for the Republican nomination for the seat in the June 2006 primary.

Look for the Hesperia Star’s take on it, which will be framed somewhat differently, in the November 1 edition of the paper.
