Mr. Supernaw reported $7,207 cash in hand (includes $2,885 of his own money loaned to the campaign) and no unpaid bills. Mr. Supernaw was recently endorsed by the Long Beach Area Chamber of Commerce, Long Beach Business Journal, the Beachcomber and long-time former 4th dist.

Ms. Chico has been endorsed by five incumbent LB Councilmembers (Gonzalez, Price, Uranga, Austin and Richardson), political action committees of unions representing LB police officers, firefighters, longshore workers, teamsters and others plus several Democrat party groups.
