Councilmember Mike Bonin declined to run for a third term representing the Westside. Those vying to replace him fight over his legacy.
that Darling has tried to mute victims in his work as a defense attorney representing a pedophile, a rapist and other criminals. In a furious debate before Brentwood voters Thursday night, each candidate accused the other of lying and “smears.”
He said a more meaningful endorsement in his showdown with Park is her backing from Nury Martinez and Gil Cedillo, two City Council members who were recorded in a raw and at times racist discussion of L.A. power politics. He called Park and the three tarnished council members “birds of a feather,” saying that they, not Bonin, represented the troublesome status quo at L.A. City Hall.
Darling said that he met Bonin only after diving into the race in January, but that he does not shrink from the council member’s support. Bonin’s backers argue that he has a substantial base of support on the Westside, where he worked before his 2013 election as a top aide to Councilman Bill Rosendahl. Bonin noted that the candidates he supported in June, including Darling, did well.
Among the positions that have provoked the most furor: Bonin’s vote against an anti-camping ordinance, which allows council members to designate certain areas, such as around parks and libraries, as no-camping zones.
