Endorsement: Put Mark Ridley-Thomas back on the L.A. City Council (via latimesopinion)
To fill the open seat in City Council District 10, we recommend a familiar face in Los Angeles government: Mark Ridley-Thomas.in the primary, voters would have a hard time finding another candidate with Ridley-Thomas’ experience and knowledge or his long list of accomplishments. His experience is even more on point now — he’s spent his career focused on civil rights, police accountability and criminal justice reform.
There are drawbacks to Ridley-Thomas. He is very much part of the political establishment, as is the district’s current councilman, Herb Wesson, who is termed out. Ridley-Thomas previously served two terms on the City Council, and thus, under L.A. law, may serve only one more four-year term. That isn’t a long time to make big changes in the district, though Ridley-Thomas is uniquely able to hit the ground running if elected.
