Stanley Chang has been on political hiatus since leaving the nonpartisan City Council to run for Congress two years ago, but it’s not surprising to see that he’s making another go at political office.

Chang, who ran for the U.S. House as Democrat, could try to win a seat with the state Senate majority.

If he were to succeed as a Democrat, he would replace incumbent Sam Slom, the Senate’s lone member of the GOP. Assuming no other Republican snags one of the 25 Senate seats, the minority caucus would drop to zero.

It’s a bit early in the season for such musings … but not too early.
