LOS ANGELES COUNTY CITIES

This information below is from the Los Angeles GOP and it is their listing of endorsed candidates. I am adding these to help those in the various cites. Not all cities with elections are listed, as the candidates did not go through the endorsement process with the LAGOP.

I recommend you do your own evaluation of the candidates and see if they align with your values.

#VoteDifferentLA

There are over 1 million registered Republicans in LA County and thousands of additional free thinkers who believe LA & California deserve better.

If you want change…Here’s how to get it. Vote for Republican endorsed candidates.

AGOURA HILLS

  • City Council – Artin Sodaify*

ARCADIA

THIS IS MY TAKE ON THIS CITY ELECTION. THIS IS NOT FROM THE LAGOP

  • City Council-District 1-David Arvizu*
  • City Council-District 4-Steve Rhee*
  • Measure AS Facilities Bond 2024-NO, This is a $358,000,000 General Bond which will cost us double that when it’s done!

As an Arcadia native and graduate of its schools, I appreciate the high standards of local education. Still, I question the necessity of additional funding to maintain this excellence. Shouldn’t our current taxes be sufficient? The community approved Measure A in 2017, dedicating $4.3 million annually through a parcel tax. This tax, $288 per parcel for 18 years, remains in effect until 2035. Given this ongoing investment, why are further financial contributions required? The cumulative tax burden is substantial; fiscal prudence is warranted.
