West Los Angeles Politics
Erin Darling 1.0
On November 3, 2020, Joe Biden was elected President. To this day, Trump and his supporters question the legitimacy of the election lending credence to the adage that a lie repeated often enough becomes perceived as the truth. Sadly, this Trumpian tactic has found its way to my neighborhood and Los Angeles City Council District 11.
Hertzberg’s Funders Get Ugly in Supervisor’s Race. Horvath Retaliates.
The race to succeed Sheila Kuehl as the 3rd District County Supervisor (Westside, the Valley) has taken a nasty turn with a hit piece landing in mailboxes sent from supporters of State Senator Bob Hertzberg. The mailer tries to tie his opponent, West Hollywood Councilmember Lindsey Horvath, to her Republican past as a teen, prior to her political conversion.
ENDORSEMENT: Lola Smallwood-Cuevas for State Senate, District 28
Spanning portions of the Westside including Mar Vista, Del Rey, Culver City and Ladera Heights, all the way to West Adams near downtown and southwest and south central Los Angeles, much of the newly drawn 28th State Senate District has been represented for the last few years by Sydney Kamlager, who is leaving to try and replace Karen Bass in Congress. Before that, it was represented by Supervisor Holly Mitchell. The district is worthy of a successor in their progressive tradition, and we believe that candidate is Lola Smallwood-Cuevas.
Guest Commentary: Lana Negrete, Santa Monica Police Violated Presidential Security
Last week the Daily Press ran four letters to the editor about the Public Safety Reform and Oversight Commission (PSROC), the citizen board formed by the City Council in the wake of the horrific murder of George Floyd in May of 2020 and the ensuing nationwide civil unrest. In the letters, residents accused the Police Officers Association (POA) of trying to minimize citizen review of the operations of our police department while the police union suggested certain PSROC members are unfit for the duty.
