Greuel scores key endorsement of the Los Angeles Police Protective League
LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Police Protective League, representing nearly 10,000 police officers in Los Angeles, announced today that it is endorsing Wendy Greuel for mayor. The support of the LAPPL is highly sought after in city campaigns.
“Wendy’s background of working in the private sector, both in a small family business and in a major studio in the entertainment industry, along with her knowledge and experience of serving our city as a Councilmember and as City Controller, demonstrate that she has a strong understanding of public safety and what it takes in order keep Los Angeles safe,” said LAPPL President Tyler Izen. “Wendy recognizes the importance of putting public safety first while at the same time working on issues that people really care about, like creating jobs, fixing potholes and fighting waste, fraud and abuse in city government.”
“The Los Angeles Police Protective League represents the officers who risk their lives everyday to fight crime, gangs, and gun violence and keep residents safe throughout Los Angeles,” said Greuel. “I'll be a mayor for all of Los Angeles so we can keep neighborhoods across the city safe, and I look forward to partnering with our city’s police as Los Angeles’ next mayor to reduce crime in our city. I am honored to have their support.”
The LAPPL endorsement demonstrates Greuel's wide-ranging support across Los Angeles, and she is leading the field in support from working men and women.
Greuel has also earned support from U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer, Congressmembers Janice Hahn and Tony Cardenas, Assembly Speaker John A. Pérez, State Senators Fran Pavley and Alex Padilla, Assemblymembers Bonnie Lowenthal, Felipe Fuentes and Nancy Skinner, Los Angeles County Supervisor Gloria Molina, Los Angeles City Councilmembers Bill Rosendahl and José Huizar, and civil rights icons Dolores Huerta and John Mack.
