Last night Warren Furutani, Democratic candidate in the 55th Assembly District, won the endorsement of the Long Beach Democratic Club.  This adds to an impressive list of endorsements for Furutani, including the California Democratic Party and the  L.A. County Federation of Labor.  
 
“Long Beach is going to work hard for Warren,” said James Johnson, President of the Long Beach Democratic Club, “Because we know that when he gets to Sacramento, Warren will work hard for Long Beach.” 
 
Furutani is locked in what appears to be a close battle for the 55th Assembly seat, recently vacated by Congresswoman Laura Richardson.  The December 11th election–coming on the heel of various other special elections and only a couple months before the California presidential primary–is sure to have low voter turnout, and thus both sides are scrambling to turn out every vote possible.
