Caveats: It's unknown how many of 58 contributions (286-228) under $100 may be from NLB residents. In addition, contributor-listed zip codes may not necessarily show their residence (a NLB resident may list his/her work/business address outside Long Beach.)

In a release announcing his campaign contributions, Vice Mayor Richardson stated: "I'm grateful to my family, friends, neighbors, and supporters for contributing and being a part of my re-election campaign. We're off to a record-breaking start and I want to thank everyone for helping provide the resources we need to run a successful campaign...Because of your hard work, we will continue our fight to ensure that every neighborhood in Long Beach is treated fairly, and make our city work smarter, be more inclusive, and responsive to the needs of residents."
[Richardson campaign release text] Richardson received contributions from 286 supporters with an average contribution of $244.86. His total fundraising amount is the most raised in the first reporting period in city council history.An agent of change, Richardson has brought a refreshing and collaborative approach to revitalizing North Long Beach and innovating government. He’s worked to create jobs through investment in infrastructure, champion responsible growth and development, restore vital public safety services, and empower residents through civic engagement and participatory budgeting. Richardson is a leading voice on community equity, ensuring city resources and development reach every Long Beach neighborhood.
Richardson grew up a free lunch kid in a working-class family. A turning point in his life was the moment he received his college acceptance letter. After serving as student body president in college, Richardson became a community organizer in South Los Angeles County, and later joined the City of Long Beach as Chief of Staff to Long Beach's 9th Council District.
In 2014, Richardson became the youngest in history to be elected to the Long Beach City Council and currently serves as the city's Vice Mayor, also the youngest in Long Beach history. He and his wife, Nina, are homeowners and are raising two young daughters in North Long Beach.
