RantZ & RaveZ - Who should you vote for in the June 7th Primary Election?
If you are looking for moderate and not radical candidates to represent you, you will find those candidates listed here. If you are looking for Radicals on either side of the aisle, you won’t find them here. I am registered as a No Party Preference and vote for moderate candidates regardless of their political party.
I received numerous requests to publish a list of candidates for the June 7th Primary Election. Here is my list of recommendations for your review and consideration. You ultimately decide who the Best Candidate is to vote for.
I must mention Public Safety when considering who to vote for….Here are the LAPD Citywide Crime Stats as of May 14, 2022. (2020 vs 2022)
Murders are up +41%, Robbery is up + 16.9%, GTA is up +36.5%, Shooting Victims are up + 66.7%.
