It is all about experience for state assembly candidate Anthony Pescetti, running against legislative staffer Debra Gravert.

Pescetti, a father of two, said his greatest advantage is serving on the Sacramento Municipal Utilities District board of directors since 1992.

"I hold public office, she doesn't," he said.

Pescetti, the Republican candidate, is running against Democrat Gravert and Libertarian Tom Kohlhepp of Lodi for the 10th state assembly district. The district is 80 percent within Sacramento County with the remaining 20 percent in San Joaquin County.

Pescetti's SMUD experience is prominently played in campaign information. First elected to SMUD's board in 1992, he was reelected without opposition in 1996.
