State Democrats are counting on a young politician from Torrance to hold on to the Assembly seat left open by the death of Mike Gordon.

Torrance City Councilman Ted Lieu announced Friday that he is joining the race to replace his late mentor in the California Legislature. He was introduced by Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, who said Lieu had the full support of the Democratic leadership.
