The political dominoes continue to fall into place after the surprising sudden death of African American Congresswoman Juanita Millender-McDonald and the election of Assemblywoman Laura Richardson to represent the the 37th District of California and serve out the rest of Millender-Macdonald's term. Yesterday, the Labor-backed and EQCA-endorsed candidate Warren Furutani won election to fill Richardson's 55th Assembly District seat and serve out the rest of her term. Both Furutani and Richardson are supporters of equal marriage rights for lesbian and gay men in California. Both the 55th Assembly District and 37th Congressional District are racially diverse districts with significant percentages of Black, Latino, Asian and LGBT registered voters. Furutani is currently a member of the Board of Trustees of the Los Angeles Community College District.
