Long Beach : Braude First to File for His Stepfather’s Job in Congress
Long Beach Councilman Evan Anderson Braude has officially thrown his hat in the ring for the 38th District congressional seat.
Rep. Glenn M. Anderson (D-San Pedro), Braude’s stepfather, is retiring after 12 terms in the U.S. House. Braude, an attorney, became the first candidate to file for the seat when he bused 40 supporters to the county registrar’s office Monday morning to sign his nominating petition for the June 2 primary.
The 44-year-old Democrat is serving his second term on the City Council representing the 1st District, which was extensively redrawn in last year’s reapportionment.
The congressional district, also recently redrawn, includes Long Beach, Signal Hill, Lakewood, Bellflower, Paramount, San Pedro, Wilmington and Downey.
