The Press Telegram editorial board met with Long Beach Congresswoman Laura Richardson discussing her recent personal issues being covered in a vast range of local, state and national media outlets.
From the PT editorial page: “When Rep. Laura Richardson comes in for a meeting with our editorial board, we know it won’t be business as usual. She isn’t the usual kind of congresswoman.
Rep. Richardson comes in equipped with a thick folder full of accomplishments, and we’re quick to concede they are impressive. Although a relative newcomer among many long-time members of the House of Representatives (remember, this is a job for life), Richardson has been busy.
But before we get into that, we should deal with a personal issue. Rep. Richardson earned some heavy news coverage because she, like too many Americans, lost one of her houses to foreclosure. In a novel twist, she forced the mortgage-holder to reverse the sale of her foreclosed house because she had been in the process of getting a loan modification.”
