Los Angeles Political Endorsements
ENDORSEMENTS: Hall, Raskin, Snell, & Zernitskaya for Santa Monica City Council
Four years ago, the so-called “Change Slate” of Phil Brock, Oscar De La Torre, and Christine Parra was narrowly elected to the Santa Monica City Council. Many at the time attributed their victory over incumbent council members to the public’s stunned reaction to the events of May 31 of that year, when law enforcement concentrated its attention on peaceful protesters over the killing of George Floyd, and others, downtown and on Ocean Avenue. This focus left the rest of the city unguarded from a wave of violent looting that itself was a result of criminals taking advantage of societal shutdowns from COVID-19.

WeHo Mayor John Erickson and Commissioner Danny Hang Win Powerful Progressive Endorsements from Tenant Group, Unions and LGTBQ+ Civil Rights Leader
West Hollywood, CA – Six progressive worker, renter, and civil rights leaders have endorsed Mayor John Erickson and Commissioner Danny Hang for this fall's West Hollywood City Council elections. Today, renters' group Coalition for Economic Survival (CES), the hotel workers’ union UNITE HERE Local 11, LGBTQ civil rights leader Cleve Jones, the National Union of Healthcare Workers (NUHW), the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 770, and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 11 all announced their endorsement of Mayor Erickson and Commissioner Hang. Both Mayor Erickson and Commissioner Hang are themselves renters and both are long-time supporters of raising the minimum wage. These six progressive organizations have named them as the candidates who will best fight for working families and renters to be able to live, work, and play in West Hollywood.
Vote Yes on L.A. City Measure HLA
Traffic fatalities among cyclists and pedestrians are skyrocketing. Several outlets already made news reporting that in 2023, traffic deaths outpaced homicide deaths in Los Angeles. In fact, according to the Measure HLA campaign, 337 traffic fatalities were recorded last year, more than any time in L.A. history and the most of any city in the country. Cars are now also the number one killer of children in L.A. County. It’s well past time solutions are implemented to not only dramatically cut down on this statistic, but make the city one of multi-mobility solutions friendlier to cyclists and pedestrians. We believe Measure HLA (or “Healthy Streets L.A.”) on the ballots of Los Angeles voters will help do this. Vote Yes.
