AFTER ALLEN: Two Democrats are maneuvering to unseat four-term Republican Assemblywoman Doris Allen: Richard T. Polis, 48, mayor pro tem of La Palma, and E. Peter Mathews, 38, political science professor at Cypress College. . . . Do they have a chance to loosen Allen’s firm hold on the 71st District? “Doris ran three times--she walked the district for three elections--before she won,” said one Democratic official. “A Democrat can do that too, but they’re going to have to want it real bad.”
