LOS ANGELES - Rep. Juanita Millender-McDonald (news, bio, voting record), a seven-term congresswoman from Southern California described as a trailblazer and a leader in election reform, died late Saturday of cancer. She was 68.

Millender-McDonald died at her home in Carson, said her chief of staff, Bandele McQueen.

The congresswoman had asked for a four- to six-week leave of absence from the House last week to deal with her illness. McQueen couldn't immediately provide details on what form of cancer Millender-McDonald had, but said she had been receiving hospice care.
