Gabriella Holt, the Republican candidate for the largely Democratic 54th Assembly District, may have an uphill battle as she heads into the November general election against Democratic nominee and Long Beach City Councilwoman Bonnie Lowenthal.
So Holt has been working the Long Beach scene.
I sat next to her Tuesday night at the council meeting, where she was watching her opponent in action and was particularly interested in a discussion about the financing of the Long Beach Airport terminal improvements, Holt told me.
Holt has been popping up all over Long Beach this month, attending block parties and a chili cook off at the Long Beach Yacht Club on the 4th of July, and going to the Wrigley Neighborhood Association's luau picnic July 9, according to Holt's Web site, www.gabriellaholt.com. Holt is a nurse and former Palos Verdes Unified School District board member.
In the interest of fairness, here's Lowenthal's site: www.bonnielowenthal.com.
