What would you like Patch to ask the candidates running for the 33rd Congressional District seat, which includes Santa Monica, Venice, the Beach Cities, Beverly Hills, Palos Verdes, Brentwood, Westwood and the Pacific Palisades.
Patch will be querying the candidates vying for the 33rd Congressional District as the June 5 primary election campaigns shift into high gear. Rep. Henry Waxman, a staunchly Democratic candidate who has served in Congress since 1975, is the front-runner and earlier this month reported having more than six times as much cash to spend then his next opponent ahead of the primary.

Rep. Henry Waxman reported having more than six times as much cash on hand as his next opponent in the election for the 33rd Congressional District.
Rep. Henry Waxman, a staunchly Democratic candidate who has served in Congress since 1975, has more than six times as much cash to spend then his next opponent ahead of the June 5 primary election for the 33rd Congressional District, according to figures released Monday by the Federal Election Commission. Waxman reported having $985,577 cash on hand at the end of the April 15 quarterly filing period, which dwarfed that of the second-leading fundraiser Steve Collett, a Libertarian, who reported cash on hand of $147,229. The reporting period covered contributions made from Jan. 1 through March 31. A total of eight candidates were certified to compete in the June primary election, but only four candidates filed their April quarterly report. …

Rep. Karen Bass, a Democrat, was the only candidate on the certified list released Thursday by the California Secretary of State's office to appear on the June 5 primary ballot for the 37th Congressional District. The district includes parts of Venice, Westwood and Century City as well as Mar Vista and Culver City. The 37th Congressional District race is heavily Democratic. Of the 346,345 registered voters, about 65 percent were registered as Democrats.
The eight candidates include veteran congressman Henry Waxman, attorneys and businessmen. The top two vote-getters in the June primary will advance to the general election in November.
Henry Waxman, a long-serving Democratic representative, will go up against seven other candidates in the race to represent much of the Westside, South Bay and Malibu area in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2013. The California Secretary of State released the certified candidates list for the June 5 primary Thursday evening. The field includes candidates from across the newly carved out 33rd district for the U.S. House, the boundaries for which changed dramatically this summer based on 2010 Census data. Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, Palos Verdes and the northern part of the district that included slivers of Marina del Rey and Venice has been drawn into a largely coastal district that will now also include Calabasas, …
