 LA Weekly - Matt Fong is no Boxer
People who knew Fong growing up didn't see in him the passion for politics that marked the career of his mother, March Fong Eu, a trailblazing political firebrand from the Bay Area who served five terms as California's secretary of state, retiring in 1994 to become ambassador to Micronesia.
An irony which is surely not lost on Fong is that his mother was forced to withdraw from her 1988 Senate primary bid after questions were raised about the finances of her second husband, millionaire Singapore businessman Henry Eu, who refused to file financial-disclosure statements as required by law.
Fong has not, in the manner of other successful ethnic politicians, done a lot to bring others into the political process in his seven years in public office.

Eu was the last great, stable political presence in California, serving as our secretary of state from 1975 to 1994, a time during which she quietly and efficiently took care of the state's business, without grandstanding or political posturing.
Give Peace a chance: Before Eu can reclaim her rightful place in the California pantheon of leaders, she'll have to run in what could be the most surreal of primaries this state has seen in a while.

After several polls gave Fong a slight lead over the incumbent, the most recent surveys indicate Boxer leads Fong by five points, in part because of hard-hitting TV ads charging that Fong would weaken abortion rights and block tough HMO reform -- ads that have gone largely unanswered by Fong.
The campaign is expected to be tight through its closing days, though, as Fong begins to combat Boxer's media barrage with one of his own.
And Fong could get help from an unlikely source -- Asian-American Democrats, who are torn between their support for many of Boxer's political stands and their desire to see their community taken more seriously by both political parties.

In her correspondence to Senator Russell on March 11, 1991, Secretary of State March Fong Eu made it clear that her office does not register families or issue certificates of name registration to families, as such, but merely implements a ministerial duty by issuing a certificate of name registration to any unincorporated association.
Accordingly, it is our opinion that the state does not have any potential liability if it fails to inform persons who register as an unincorporated nonprofit association with a name that indicates characteristics similar to those of a family of the consequences of forming such an association.
