This Los Angeles County Democrats’ Redondo Beach Measure E endorsement has greatly harmed that city.
It was not researched sufficiently, so the committee endorsed an unworthy out of town cannabis businessman bent on undermining the Redondo Beach duly elected government.
I am requesting an inquiry.
I am very concerned that the Los Angeles County Democratic Party has greatly harmed its own credibility through careless endorsements.
