Roy Ashburn
California Highway Patrol Lt. Jay Bart says Republican state Sen. Roy Ashburn, 55, was spotted driving erratically about 2:10 a.m. March 3rd in downtown Sacramento. Ashburn — the married father of four — was arrested after failing a sobriety test. Ashburn, a fierce opponent of gay rights, represents a district that includes Kern, Tulare, Inyo and San Bernardino counties. Days after his arrest, he acknowledged to a radio interviewer that he was indeed gay. (credit: Sac County Sheriff’s Dept.)
