Election

The final count showed she had defeated Jack Sieglock, a Republican and a San Joaquin County Supervisor, by 474 votes. Sieglock had already attended the orientation for new Assembly members when he learned he hadn't won.
In 2010, Sieglock unsuccessfully challenged Lewis for the same seat—Lewis 52.0%, Sieglock 42.7%.
Lewis declined to seek reelection in 2012.
