Welcome to the CD2 Special Election 2009 blog

With the departure of Wendy Greuel, as she has now assumed the role of LA City Controller, the constituents of Council District 2 are now faced with our most important election in recent memory.

This is an election that boils down to one important factor - the very real possibility that whichever candidate assumes the position of Councilperson for CD2 may be in office for the next 14 years.

On this site, we will bring you all the breaking news, issues, and developments, as this brief campaign progresses. This site also will serve as a resource for voter information and scheduled candidate forums. We welcome your participation as residents of CD2 and we hope to hear from the candidates as well.

This site will not endorse any candidate, all postings are provided to inform the public only.

Pete Sanchez Endorses Krekorian

by Paul Hatfield

Pete Sanchez announced his endorsement of Paul Krekorian today.

This is significant because it rounds out support for Krekorian from the top tier finishers in the primary. Sanchez, Galatzan and Benson accounted for just over one-fourth of the vote total in the race, almost as much as Chris Essel received.

Here is the text of Pete’s endorsement:

Dear Neighbors:

As someone who cares deeply about Valley Village and our city, I ran for City Council because I know we need profound change in City Hall. I continue to believe we deserve a better city government than the one we have, and I’ll continue to work actively to achieve it.

During my campaign I got to know both candidates and I have studied their respective philosophies and vision. On December 8th we will make an important decision about the future of our city and our community when we choose between the two candidates. I am convinced that there is only one choice for those of us who would like to see a more responsive and accountable City Hall. I am supporting Paul Krekorian to be our next City Council Member and I hope you will join me in casting your vote for him.
