Congressional candidate Peter Mathews, a college professor who lives in Belmont Heights, reported strong attendance at a townhall meeting at Ecco's Pizza on Halloween.
Mathews said and others addressed the economy, healthcare, job creation, the environment, alternative energy, the federal deficit, tuition-free college education, crime prevention, Iraq and Afghanistan and other issues.
About 50 people attended, many from the 37th District, which includes Long Beach, Carson, Compton, Signal Hill and Willowbrook.
Mathews is challenging U.S. Rep. Laura Richardson, D-Long Beach, in the 2010 primary.
