ALT Joint Statement from Progressive LA City Candidates Demanding the Immediate Resignation of Nury Martinez, Kevin de León, Gil Cedillo, and Ron Herrera Council President Nury Martinez and Councilmembers Kevin de León and Gil Cedillo must resign immediately from Los Angeles City Council. We are also calling for the immediate resignation of Los Angeles County Federation of Labor President Ron Herrera from his position. The racist, hateful, and violent comments that were made and enabled by these three City Councilmembers and labor president have no place in our city. These abhorrent remarks were made in closed door conversations outlining a clear effort to redistrict certain council districts in order to diminish power from those they disagree with politically. We are especially sending our support and love to Councilmember Mike Bonin and his family at this time.

ALT We are appalled, angry and absolutely disgusted that Nury Martinez attacked our son with horrific racist slurs, and talked about her desire to physically harm him. It’s vile, abhorrent, and utterly disgraceful. The City Council needs to remove her as Council President immediately, and she needs to resign from office. Any parent reading her comments will know she is unfit for public office. We love our son, a beautiful, joyful child, and our family is hurting today. No child should ever be subjected to such racist, mean and dehumanizing comments, especially from a public official. It is painful to know he will someday read these comments. We are equally angry and disgusted by the ugly racist comments about our son from Kevin de Leon and Ron Herrera, who should also resign their posts, and by the tacit acceptance of those remarks from Gil Cedillo.

ALT Email from Paul Koretz “Jane Nguyen, campaign manager for Kenneth Mejia for City Controller, urges people to show up at City Hall and reposts video of insurrection in celebration. Mejia also attended the City Hall takeover event.”

ALT Screenshot of Kenneth Mejia’s tweets “His campaign staff are the same folks that disrupted a Mayoral debate at a synagoque in the Valley, shouting obscenities at Karen Bass, Kevin de León and others. Mejia is committed to an agenda of shouting down opponents and using divisiveness and bullying to circumvent the normal legislative process. Kenneth Mejia for Controller? Really? Is this the person that we want having the keys to City Hall? Please share this email and stay subscribed as I will continue to share more regarding the deeply disturbing behavior and statements of my opponent Kenneth Mejia and his campaign staff. Warm regards, Paul”
