Blakeslee is expected to make a formal announcement Friday morning at his Pismo Street house in San Luis Obispo.
The three-term Republican Assemblyman and former Cuesta College Trustee is expected to face a tough election challenge in a special election in August from Democrat and former Assemblyman John Laird of Santa Cruz.
Blakeslee told reporters that he will run as a conservative Republican who seeks to build consensus from Democrats.
