Steve Kuykendall, who represented part of the South Bay in Congress for two years before his 2000 loss to Jane Harman, is leaving the suburban Palos Verdes Peninsula for the urban wilds of Long Beach.
Kuykendall today confirmed that he has sold his home in Rancho Palos Verdes, where he was once on the City Council and where he remains politically active as a consultant.
He and his wife will move in mid-July to a condo in a new development in downtown Long Beach. The move keeps him in the pretty much the same territory for elected officials -- though he'll switch from Rod Wright's to Alan Lowenthal's state Senate district.
Kuykendall said the move was due to "empty-nester syndrome."
"It has nothing to do with politics," Kuykendall said.
A two-term Assemblyman before his election to Congress, Kuykendall plans to continue his consulting work and wants to remain active in local Republican circles.
