Fresno Democratic Assemblyman Henry T. Perea has announced he is stepping down a year early. Perea who is termed out of office next year, says he will resign at the end of 2015. While he hasn’t publicly discussed his plans after leaving office, the LA Times is reporting that Perea is likely to take a job in public affairs with a private company. Perea had been considered the unofficial leader of moderate Democrats in Sacramento.
