Assemblywoman Laura Richardson Announces Candidacy to Replace the Seat of the Late Congresswoman Millender-Mcdonald

"When I ran for city council (of Long Beach), she was very supportive and when I ran for the 55th assembly seat, she wished me well and was involved in my campaign."

"Send us somebody who has her character," [Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick] reportedly said, "Send us another leader. Send us a person of dedication. We need you all to send us another bad sister."
