A giant of a man. Rest in Power, Rev. Murray.

Great column by Col. Gustavo Arellano on Ysabel Jurado, talking with her about her life, her campaign, and her deep connection with her neighbors in the 14th District.

Meet #TeamYsabel .

Our campaign made a deliberate, intentional choice to invest in our community and build a multigenerational, multilingual field team of organizers from every corner of the district.

These are the leaders our community deserves.

I’m so proud of us. ✊🏽

Despite losses in the recent election, religious nationalist extremists are rallying today to try to gather signatures for their anti-trans ballot initiative. Pastors and “parental rights” activists have called in Proud Boys for security.

Thanks for the shout out JoeLinton StreetsblogLA - but the love should go to Eric Bruins, the kickass mobility champion who staffed me at Metro Los Angeles and at Transportation Committee. He’s the best!

Florida took a look at L.A.’s failed policy of criminalizing homelessness and essentially decided to mandate it statewide.

Will 41.18 supporters realize when they look in the mirror that the reflection is of Ron DeSantis?

A lot of people were surprised by Ysabel Jurado’s first place finish in CD14. How did she do it? Alissa Walker Godfrey Santos Plata & I discuss on whatsnextlosangeles

It’s a Cinderella story: a single teen mom on food stamps is now a tenants rights lawyer in the CD14 runoff. I’m honored to have made it here, but this victory shouldn’t be an anomaly. In a city as rich as LA, all of us deserve to thrive and all of us deserve a seat at the table.

The incredible victory of Nithya Raman was a repudiation of the effort of the establishment and special interests to strike a blow against a growing progressive movement in LA. Alissa Walker Godfrey Santos Plata and I discuss on whatsnextlosangeles

Racist stereotypes kill Black children.

The sheriff’s deputies shot and killed Ryan Gainer almost as a reflex, rapidly and unnecessarily.

So much joy, so much relief, so much gratitude.

I'm very happy to share that our campaign has secured more than half of the vote in the primary and won our race outright.

Thank you to Levon Baronian and Ethan Weaver for running spirited, passionate campaigns.

WOW. Latest results: Nithya Raman has a majority in CD4! If that holds, she avoids a run-off. And, as I predicted yesterday, Ysabel Jurado is now in the first, ahead of KDL, in CD14. And in the Glendale schools race, Neda Farid is now beating the anti-LGBTQ+ candidate.

Hate crimes targeting LGBTQ people at schools are increasing sharply — and are rising fastest in states with anti-LGBTQ laws. Coincidence? I think not. washingtonpost.com/education/2024…
