From LA Times:
Several Los Angeles-area Assembly district races continue to build steam, even though the candidate filing period hasn’t yet begun. Redistricting has produced new political maps — and new opportunities — and some contenders have been raising money and lining up endorsements for weeks or even months.
In the San Gabriel Valley’s newly drawn 49th District, former Rosemead Mayor John Tran, now a member of the El Monte Union High School board, added to his list of backers Kien Tiet, board member-elect of the Temple City Unified School District; and Robert Mike Barrios, a member of the El Monte City School District board.
Nurses union official Jimmy Gomez, running in an already-crowded race for the newly drawn 51stDistrict in northeast Los Angeles, announced support from the Teamsters Joint Council 42.
