Lucille Roybal Allard

Gov. George Deukmejian set July 7 for a special election in the Eastside's 56th Assembly District to replace former Assemblywoman Gloria Molina (D-Los Angeles), who resigned after she was elected to the Los Angeles City Council. Molina and other Latino elected officials reportedly have agreed to support as her replacement Lucille Roybal Allard, the daughter of senior Latino legislator Rep. Edward R. Roybal (D-Los Angeles).

More than 4% of votes cast in the congressional district of Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-Los Angeles) went uncounted in the 2000 election, according to a study commissioned by 18 members of Congress. The voting disparities in the Los Angeles district, which includes downtown, East Los Angeles and other poor communities, mirrored those of similar districts nationwide among those in the 40-district survey.

Despite the urgings of others, state Sen. Art Torres (D-Los Angeles) said Wednesday that he will not run for an East Side congressional seat created under a reapportionment plan created by the state Supreme Court. The decision by Torres, 45, avoids a potentially divisive fight with Assemblywoman Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-Los Angeles), who has declared her candidacy for the newly created 33rd Congressional District.

Freshman Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-Los Angeles) is considered a heavy favorite to recapture the 33rd Congressional District seat she won two years ago. Roybal faces only one challenger in the primary, a political newcomer making his first bid for elective office, and there are no Republican candidates. Roybal-Allard, 52, succeeded her father, Edward R. Roybal, who represented the 33rd District for nearly 30 years before his retirement in 1992.

Jose Cisneros' interest in politics and school keep him so busy he keeps a beeper to stay in touch with city leaders and friends, the Huntington Park High junior said. Last week Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard's (D-Los Angeles) office called to inform the 17-year-old that he had been named to work as a congressional page in her Washington office. "I was in my counselor's office changing my program and my pager went off, so I asked my counselor if I could call the number on my pager," Cisneros said.

Faced again with opposition from a key lawmaker, State Bar leaders on Friday set aside a compromise proposal for a landmark ethical rule restricting sexual conduct between lawyers and their clients. Instead, a Bar Board of Governors committee voted to begin direct negotiations to fashion an agreement with state Assemblywoman Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-Los Angeles), who is seeking an outright ban on such relationships.

In a first step toward putting behind them some of the recent election bitterness, Los Angeles City Councilwoman-elect Gloria Molina and other Latino elected officials who opposed her have agreed on the person they will support to replace Molina when she officially gives up her Assembly seat on Friday. The candidate is Lucille Roybal Allard, daughter of senior Latino legislator Rep. Edward R. Roybal (D-Los Angeles).

Lucille Roybal Allard, the 45-year-old daughter of longtime Rep. Edward R. Roybal, said she has "probably been referred to as the congressman's daughter more in recent times than when I was a kid." Having won 5,443 votes, or 62% of the total, to capture the 56th Assembly District seat Tuesday on the heavily Latino Eastside, Allard said that high on her list of priorities is to show that she is "my own person."

After more than a decade of being divided among representatives, much of the Southeast area now has one voice in Congress--Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-Los Angeles), who wants to tap Washington's vast resources to benefit her predominantly Latino constituents.

Lucille Roybal Allard, daughter of longtime Democratic Rep. Edward R. Roybal, easily followed in her father's political footsteps Tuesday by winning a special election for the Assembly in the Eastside by a wide margin. Complete unofficial returns showed Allard had 62% of the votes cast, enough for her to win outright the 56th Assembly District seat that Gloria Molina gave up to run successfully for the Los Angeles City Council. Allard's closest challenger was Commerce City Councilman James B.
