Every 12 years Los Angeles County voters get to choose a new Supervisor. Under the racially compliant redistricting rules District 2 is the "black" seat. Although the district is vigorously trending Latino.
There are two competitors for a job most politicians believe is better than Congress. An LA Supervisor has 2,000,000 constituents, a huge staff, multiple offices, an easy commute, great salary, amazing benefits, a giant personal slush fund and best tickets to the Hollywood Bowl. Plus the 5 regents control billions and billions of tax dollars.
Former LAPD Chief and current LA City Council Bernard Parks is resisting efforts by controversial state senator Mark Ridley-Thomas for the seat.

Another yawner election on the horizon.
LA is toast….it is old, run down, a testament that liberalism has failed on all levels.
Who visits LA anymore? For what?

A democrat official freshly elected to the assembly, runs for a sudden open seat in Congress, participating in a Latino vs Black political war…cheats on her home loan. A fresh face instantly ruined.
As John and Ken mentioned today, she will be in Congress for the next 25 years.
Always a hypocrite.
Making rules and regs for others to follow.
Always seeking privileges that working people never get. Always using and abusing the system.
Nice work dems.
