With a potential vacancy in Assembly for the seat representing Lake Tahoe, speculation is two women well known to South Lake Tahoe would vie for it.

But the rumor mill is inaccurate this time around.

Kathay Lovell and Norma Santiago told Lake Tahoe News they have no interest in running for the seat if Ted Gaines were to win the Jan. 3 special election for the state Senate seat. Gaines faces Ken Cooley for the seat of the late Dave Cox.

“I am confident Ted Gaines will be successful winning the Senate seat. No, I am not intending to run for his Assembly seat,” Lovell said.

Santiago responded, “That’s a big no. I have many projects to complete in my remaining time as county supervisor. There is no way that I would walk away from my constituency at what to me is a very pivotal time.”
