Laura Richardson’s campaign reached a big milestone last Friday when she received a call from the County Clerk’s office, verifying her official placement on the ballot for the upcoming March 5, 2024 election.
Richardson is now the first candidate to qualify to run for State Senate District 35, sending a strong signal that she has by far the most organized and well-executed campaign in this race, according to her campaign.
“I want to express my sincere thanks to all my supporters who helped us get on the ballot. Your support and dedication have been the driving force behind this milestone, and I cannot thank you enough,” said Richardson.

With only three months until election day, Laura’s campaign is moving with speed in growing
her coalition and picking up significant endorsements. Richardson’s announcement compliments
her growing list of endorsers that include several mayors of Southern California cities as well as major unions.
Richardson was born in Los Angeles to bi-racial parents and lives in San Pedro. She was raised by a single mother after her parents divorced when she was two. Her mother was a member of the Teamsters and remains a retiree today. Laura graduated with a bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of California, Los Angeles, and earned her MBA from the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business.
Richardson served on the Long Beach City Council from 2000 to 2006, and while serving in the Assembly in 2007 after the untimely passing of Congresswoman Juanita Millender McDonald, she was elected to the House of Representatives, representing District 37, where she served three terms before redistricting significantly altered California’s congressional map, resulting in the loss of African American representation for the first time in decades.
Senate District 35 includes the Los Angeles County communities of Westchester, Inglewood, Compton, Carson, Hawthorne, Lawndale, Gardena, Harbor Gateway, Wilmington, San Pedro, and unincorporated communities of East and West Rancho Dominguez, Lennox, West Athens, Westmont, and Willowbrook.
