Once part of the 42nd Assembly District under the representation of  Mike Feuer (D-Los Angeles), redistricting has placed Beverly Hills in the newly formed 50th Assembly District along with West Hollywood, Santa Monica and Malibu. Assemblywoman Betsy Butler, D-Marina del Rey, is the latest candidate to enter the race for the 50th Assembly District seat. The election takes place Nov. 6, 2012. Butler, a Democrat, currently represents the 53rd Assembly District. She won the race for that seat in November 2010, her first election. Her primary opponents appear to be Santa Monica Mayor Richard Bloom and Torie Osborn—a liberal activist backed by Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. Having lived in Marina del Rey for 20 years, Butler said she currently represents 1.7 percent of the constituents in the new 50th Assembly District. “I am considered the incumbent in the 50th district,” she told  The Argonaut . Regardless, Butler said she will move north to run in the new district. It is unclear exactly which city she has in mind.
