Say what you will about Democrat Peter Mathews, but the man is persistent. After losing several bids for Congress and local office, the Cypress College professor and Long Beach resident plans to announce another bid to challenge Rep. Laura Richardson, D-Long Beach, in midterm elections next year.
The Democratic Primary is a year away: June 10, 2010. The 37th Congressional District includes Long Beach, Signal Hill, Carson and Compton.
IIn last year's election, Mathews came in second to Richardson, but the incumbent won a strong majority.
Mathews plans to announce that he is running at 6 p.m. Monday at the Garden Café, 1431 E. Broadway.
