SACRAMENTO — Assemblyman Willie Brown narrowly won an unprecedented fifth term as Speaker of the California Assembly today, defeating a coalition of dissident Democrats and the Assembly’s Republican minority.
The bitterly divided Assembly gave Brown (D-San Francisco) 40 votes for Speaker while Assemblyman Charles M. Calderon (D-Los Angeles), one of the so-called “Gang of Five” rebel Democrats, received 35 votes--five from Democrats and 30 from Republicans.
