CD2 Campaign in Perspective to Another City

by Paul Hatfield

We sometimes lose sight of the potential relative magnitude of elections in Los Angeles.

Even a typical Neighborhood Council district is larger than many small towns, but what about an entire City Council district?

Here is a tale of two cities (I received this from Suzanne Lauer of Valley Village):

THIS JERRY MAGUIRE MOMENT:

Just think of me like kid in Jerry Maguire. (You remember cute little Jonathan Lipnicki):

“Did you know the human head weighs 8 Pounds?”

“Did you know bees and dogs can smell fear?”

“Did you know my neighbor has three rabbits?”

There are 48,531 registered voters in the City of Santa Barbara?

There are 124,955 registered voters in the City of Los Angeles Council District 2?

The estimated population of the City of Santa Barbara is 90,305.

The estimated population of Los Angeles Council District 2 is 276,962

On November 3, Santa Barbara is voting for a new Mayor.

On December 8, LA Council District 2 will be voting for a new City Council Member.

Do you realize how many people’s lives will be affected by the results of the CD2 election?

Just suggesting it might be time to take a good look at the two CD2 candidates.

Just over six weeks to go….

It will be interesting to see which race gets the higher turnout.
