The only challenger facing Democratic Assemblyman Willard H. Murray Jr. has withdrawn from the November race for the 52nd Assembly District, clearing the way for the incumbent to serve a fourth term.
Republican candidate Richard A. Rorex, 57, of Gardena said he withdrew last week after being hired as a maintenance mechanic with the U.S. Postal Service processing center in Bell. Postal Service attorneys advised Rorex that postal workers cannot hold partisan political office.
