This weekend, my campaign opened our South LA office in the Crenshaw neighborhood. We also launched African-Americans with Wendy, bringing together many members of the community to support my candidacy for Mayor. And, just today, I earned another major endorsement from the working men and women of the Operating Engineers (I.U.O.E.) Local 12.
Here’s what the Los Angeles Times had to say about my pledge to be a Mayor for all of Los Angeles:
Greuel, who worked for 10 years as an aide to [Former L.A. Mayor Tom] Bradley early in her career, pledged to carry on the legacy of the city's first black mayor and to bring economic equity to struggling South L.A. neighborhoods, ... [describing] Bradley as the person "who taught me to fight for justice, who taught me that you should use your voice in a way that lets all boats rise, who taught me that you can be and should be a mayor for all of Los Angeles."
I learned a lot from Mayor Bradley, and I'm going to be a mayor for all of Los Angeles so that no part of the city is left behind. And that means making sure our workers are treated fairly and that we're growing our middle class. But I’ll need your help to win.
There are only 49 days until the election, ballots start arriving in less than three weeks, and on Saturday, we face a major, pre-primary fundraising deadline.
Please contribute $30 or more right now and help my campaign win in March.
Thanks,
Wendy
