Damon Dunn, the Republican nominee for Secretary of State in 2010, announced this week his candidacy for mayor of Long Beach. “I love Long Beach,” Dunn states on his website, damondunn.com . “It and its people have lifted me. Long Beach is one of the most socially, economically, politically and ethnically diverse cities in our nation. Long Beach has a bright future and can become one of the premier cities in this nation.” Dunn is the first to announce candidacy in the next election for Long Beach mayor.
