    Get Your Vote On

    Polls open today in the 53rd Assembly district to replace Mike Gordon, a Democrat who passed away earlier this year with a brain tumor.

    Polls close at 8pm. The top GOP candidates are Mary Jo Ford, 43, a Manhattan Beach physician; Paul Nowatka, 65, a Torrance City Council member and retired policeman; and Paul Whitehead, 38, a high school teacher.

    Ted Lieu, 36, a Torrance City Council member and former Gordon staffer, is the only Democrat in the race.

    If no candidate gets above 50 percent, the top vote getters will face off in an election later this year.

    Here is the LA Times' preview of race.
