Simi Valley - Last November voters elected Elton Gallegly to a 13th term in the US. House of Representatives.

Today the 24th District Representative told KEY News he was humbled by phone calls urging him to run again.

But redistricting, being challenged in Federal court, puts his Simi Valley hometown in the 25th district represented by Republican Buck McKeon.

McKeon has already announced his run for re-election.

Now Gallegly must decide whether to run against McKeon in the 25th or run again in the rest of Ventura County that will be renamed the 26th district.

Legally he can run in any California district regardless of where he lives.

To make an informed decision the Congressman wants to see what happens with the Federal lawsuit challenging redistricting.

Members of the Camarillo Los Posas Republican Womans Federated group hope he will continue to represent them.

Many business owners hope so too.

Although would-be challengers are anxious to see what Gallegy chooses to do he is not planning to rush his decision.
