Greuel Launches Second General Election TV Ad

Los Angeles – Wendy Greuel launched her second television ad of the general election, highlighting her experience as the most qualified candidate and track record of leading in a crisis, and her support from some of LA’s most well-respected leaders.

The ad brings Greuel supporters Senator Barbara Boxer, Earvin “Magic” Johnson, and former Mayor Richard Riordan together to urge Angelenos to vote for Greuel’s strong leadership. Boxer, Johnson and Riordan discuss Greuel’s leading role in the federal government’s response to the Northridge Earthquake, helping to start the LA’s BEST afterschool program with Mayor Tom Bradley, and uncovering millions in waste as City Controller.

“We’ve seen Wendy Greuel lead in a crisis,” Boxer says. “We urge you to vote Wendy Greuel for Mayor,” said Riordan. Declares Johnson: “We need Wendy Greuel.”

“I’ll bring strong leadership to change Los Angeles, so we can break the paralysis at City Hall and start moving LA forward,” Greuel said. “I have a record of delivering results for Angelenos and leading in a crisis, from helping start LA’s BEST with Mayor Bradley, fast-tracking aid to victims of the Northridge Earthquake, and being a tough fiscal watchdog for taxpayers. As mayor I’ll fight to get our economy back on track and create jobs, and reform our city’s education system.”

Greuel is the only candidate to air television ads so far in the general election.

In addition to her support from Boxer, Johnson and Riordan, Greuel has been endorsed by President Bill Clinton, Los Angeles’ police and firefighters, 600,000 working women and men, and the LA Chamber of Commerce Jobs PAC.
