Congressional competitors convey views at gathering organized by Persian-Jewish civic group

Candidates Wendy Greuel and Elan Carr share a moment

30 Years After held its 7th Annual Pre-Election Mixer to introduce the civic group to candidates for both L.A.'s 3rd Supervisoral District and L.A.'s 33rd Congressional District, to succeed the retiring congressman Rep. Henry Waxman. The supervisoral candidates attending were Bobby Shriver (former Santa Monica Mayor and City Council member) and John Duran (West Hollywood City Councilmember and former Mayor).


The presenting congressional candidates: Elan Carr (deputy District Attorney prosecutor of gang-crimes), Wendy Greuel (former LA City Controller), Matt Miller (liberal radio host and author), and Ted Lieu (Calif. State Senator representing the city of Torrance).  The other major candidate, Marianne Williamson, did not attend.

The primary election will be held on Tuesday, June 3rd.  No particular party registration is required for you to vote for any candidate. The two candidates that receive the most votes will face each other in November.
