City of Los Angeles

Mayor – Karen Bass Has Her Work Cut Out For Her Against Rick Caruso Who Has Already Spent $26 Million On His Campaign. Kevin Deleon Has Done Well On The City Council, And We Are Friends And Admirers Of His, But We Do Not Believe That He Has The Depth Of Knowledge, Experience, And Involvement In Los Angeles As Does Congress Member Bass. Mike Feuer Is An Excellent Human Being And Has Good Politics. He, Too, Cannot Beat Rick Caruso. Karen Is Organizer Extraordinaire. She “Plays Well With Others” And So Can Get Things Done By Working Collaboratively With Council Members. Karen Is A True Progressive Leader And We Believe The Only Candidate Who Has A Chance To Defeat Rick Caruso. She Listens To Others And Will Work With Many Important Community Organizations That Want A Humane And Effective Plan To House The Homeless, Keep The City Running Effectively, Provide Police Reform And Who Can Provide The Leadership This City So Badly Needs.

City Attorney—Faisal Gill Is A Civil Rights Attorney Endorsed By Karen Bass, Cfa (College Teachers), Nuhw (Union Healthcare Workers And Nurses) Supervisor Holly Mitchell, The Ada, The Black Los Angeles Young Democrats, And By The Minnesota Attorney General Who Was The Man Who Successfully Prosecuted The Murderers Of George Floyd.
