The Long Beach mayoral candidates both remain optimistic in the race as ballots are continued to be counted and no official winner has been declared.
"I think voters really want to see a lot of focus on comprehensive solutions to homelessness and real investment in affordable housing for regular working people," Richardson said.
As NBC4 has reported, homelessness is a central element in this race although each mayoral candidate has taken different approach. Last month, city officials collectively pushed back, referring to the LA metro line as a dumping ground for the homeless who are shooed off the train at the last stop in Long Beach.
"We can’t take on a larger portion that our regional share of this regional crisis said mayoral candidate Suzie Price."Our democracy might be messy sometimes - and move a little slower than we would like - but over the next few days, I'm looking forward to catching up on much overdue time with family and friends while the County continues their work of processing ballots and counting all the votes," Price said in a statement.
The father of two who has been a councilmember since 2014 and Price who is also a current councilmember says she covered every square inch of the Long Beach shoreline town getting her message out in this election.
