Tuesday's Special Election for the 32nd Congressional District

From the San Gabriel Valley Tribune, "32nd Congressional District Candidates Gear Up for Election":

Democratic congressional candidate Judy Chu says one of her greatest challenges is reminding voters the race to represent a portion of the San Gabriel Valley in Congress isn't over yet.

On Tuesday voters from the 32nd Congressional District will go back to the polls to select from among Judy Chu, Republican Betty Chu and Libertarian Christopher Agrella - the three victors who emerged from the May primary.

"Most voters are surprised that the election is still going on. They thought it was over May 19," Judy Chu said.

Her opponents think she believes it's all over too.

"She acts like she is the incumbent already ... But it ain't over until you know who sings," Libertarian Christopher Agrella said before a candidates' forum Thursday.

It's easy to see how some voters would think the election had been decided.

Most analysts considered the primary the main event because Democrats dominate the district, which stretches from East Los Angeles through Monterey Park, Rosemead, South El Monte, El Monte, Baldwin Park, West Covina, Azusa, Duarte and Covina.

"Judy Chu will be elected, and she will have the seat as long as she wants baring death or scandal," said political analyst Allan Hoffenblum.
