I’ve just heard confirmation from fellow Calitics blogger Todd Beeton, who is Judy Chu’s internet director.  It turns out that Betty Tom Chu and Judy Chu are tangentially related–by marriage, not by blood.

Betty Chu is the wife of Judy Chu’s cousin Bob Chu.  Now, how well they know each other, I don’t know.  But this is the final word in the Chu v. Chu relationship saga.  Back to campaigning as usual.
