My Name Bob.

Bob Blumenfield, the district director for Rep. Howard Berman (D-Calif.), is running for a seat in the California Assembly in 2008.

Blumenfield already has scored the endorsement of his boss, as well as the backing of state Treasurer Bill Lockyer (D) and state Controller John Chiang (D). Blumenfield has served in his present position since 2000.

Prior to being hired as Berman’s district director, Blumenfield served on Capitol Hill in the office of former Sen. Bill Bradley (D-N.J.) from 1989 to 1991 before moving on to Berman’s D.C. office from 1991 to 1996.

Blumenfield enjoyed a four-year sojourn away from government service from 1996 to 2000.

Blumenfield is running in a Democrat-leaning Assembly seat that opened up because of term limits, and a victory in next year’s June primary should assure him an easy general election contest and a new job in Sacramento, Calif.

The suburban Los Angeles seat he would represent includes approximately 420,000 constituents
