Steinberg pulls out all the stops

I'm told that incoming state Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg is going all out to ensure that 19th state Senate District Democratic candidate Hannah-Beth Jackson closes her campaign with an impressive get-out-the-vote effort.

More than 120 Senate staff workers, on leave from their state jobs, are being dispatched to Ventura to assist in a door-knocking blitz over the weekend.

The reason so many are coming to Ventura County? There is literally no other district in the state where the services of campaign workers are needed.
