Collier to challenge Behr for Senate seat
Sen. Randolph Collier, longtime Sacramento power and head of the Senate finance committee, confirms he will run against Sen. Peter Behr in the new coastal district created by reapportionment. Collier plans to move to a district home after the state Supreme Court ruling on the plan, with the new district spanning Del Norte to Sonoma counties. Behr and Collier have a history over the Wild Rivers Bill, with Collier holding strong population-area support in his current districts. Behr, a Republican in the Senate since 1971, would represent Marin County with about 205,000 constituents, while Collier would represent roughly 275,000 across Del Norte, Humboldt, Mendocino, Sonoma, and parts of other counties.

Butz is under investigation on allegations he tried to block a Federal Trade Commission inquiry into Heublein Inc.’s 1969 California wine acquisition of United Vintners.
