From the Daily Breeze: ‘South Bay Rep. Laura Richardson waltzed to an easy victory Tuesday in her 37th Congressional District race despite revelations in recent weeks of the congresswoman’s financial struggles.

More: ‘With all 333 precincts reporting, Richardson (D-Long Beach), had an overwhelming 75% of the vote. Her two opponents, Cypress College professor Peter Mathews and community newspaper publisher Lee Davis had 17% and 8%, respectively.’

For those interested in hearing from Richardson about her financial travails, she called into the John & Ken radio show this week and received a good grilling. It’s about halfway through this audio clip.

I still haven’t heard details about the three loan modifications, details that would help determine whether she received favorable treatment from lenders. For the record, she has said she did not receive special treatment.
