LOS ANGELES (CNS) — Assemblyman Richard Bloom, D-Santa Monica, dropped his campaign for the county Board of Supervisors Tuesday, saying he will focus on serving out the remainder of his term in the Legislature.

"After a great deal of thought and discussion with my family and advisers, I have decided to end my campaign for supervisor and focus on serving my constituents for the remainder of my final term in the state Assembly," Bloom said in a statement. "I am very proud of the campaign we ran, and I am grateful to everyone who helped to build it."


Bloom's final term in the Assembly ends this year. He was elected to the Assembly in 2012 following more than a decade on the Santa Monica City Council.

He had been running for the District 3 seat on the Board of Supervisors being vacated by Sheila Kuehl.

The candidate field includes West Hollywood City Councilwoman Lindsey Horvath; Sen. Henry Stern, D-Calabasas; and state Senate Majority Leader Robert Hertzberg, D-Van Nuys.

The District 3 seat represents an area that includes Santa Monica, the Westside and West Hollywood, along with the bulk of the San Fernando Valley.
