Gascón supporters, foes exchange barbs

“As part of what we know and we call ‘recall-palooza,’ his opponents are shifting the blame of all of L.A.’s crime on the district attorney. But looking all across the country,” said Mark Gonzalez, chair of the L.A. County Democratic Party, “We know that that’s simply not the truth.”

“George Gascón is doing the important work of finding and solving the root causes of crime that we are seeing in this city, while intervening in the vicious cycle of disproportionately incarcerating poor communities and communities of color.”

"Gonzalez... said the nation is 'at the crossroad where rights either have to be protected by a judicial decision or by law due to the extreme positions of those who want to roll back our nation's progress. Abortion rights must be codified into law and Congress must act NOW to protect women in this nation.' ''

LACDP Chair Mark J Gonzalez releases statement
on Los Angeles County and Los Angeles City Endorsements

 

LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CA -- 


LACDP Chair Mark J. Gonzalez issued the following statement on Los Angeles County and Los Angeles City Endorsements from the Los Angeles County Democratic Party:

“Our country, state, and county continue to be at a pivotal moment as Republicans continue their coordinated attacks on workers, families, and marginalized communities.  Last night, Los Angeles Democrats met to consider the endorsements of several major countywide and citywide races for the upcoming June primary as we look towards the future of Los Angeles. 

We are proud to support so many incredible candidates for Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, Los Angeles City Council, Los Angeles Unified School District, and several critical Superior Court Judicial races. While our body did not reach a consensus in races for Los Angeles Board of Supervisors District 3, Los Angeles City Mayor, Los Angeles City Attorney, and Los Angeles City Council District 5, we are proud that so many Democrats have stepped up to run to continue to serve the people of Los Angeles. 

Los Angeles voters know we are in the midst of a housing, homelessness and public safety crisis, an assault on workers’ rights, and a critical need to rebuild after a crippling pandemic. Our city and county deserve leaders who have the experience necessary to lead and make the decisions that will continue to move Los Angeles forward. On behalf of our 3.1 million Democrats, I  look forward to our party supporting all of our endorsed candidates in June, and working alongside them once they are elected.”

LACDP Chair Mark J Gonzalez statement
on President Biden's 2022 State of the Union Address


LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CA -- 

Following President Biden's 2022 State of the Union Address, LACDP Chair Mark J. Gonzalez issued the following statement:

"Tonight, President Biden assured an anxious nation that our economic recovery post-pandemic has made historic gains, that our nation stands united with Ukraine and our allies to push back against Russian aggression and that the state of our union is strong and getting stronger. 

Thanks to the bipartisan American Rescue Plan, families, businesses and communities know that the President and Vice President Harris are investing in America’s future, creating good-paying jobs to keep food on tables and refocus on much-needed infrastructure projects across Los Angeles and our nation. American workers have been reassured that they have a fighter who will fight for worker protections and fair wages by pushing to ensure the passage of the PRO Act and buying American and Building a Better America. Our most vulnerable communities, women, black, brown, and API communities, LGBTQ+ and more who have been under attack know that they have an Administration who have committed to protecting basic and fundamental rights. 

I  was proud to be the California State Director for Biden-Harris, and I’m proud to continue to stand with President Biden, Vice President Harris, and our Democratic leadership to keep the state of our union strong, with a focus on meeting every moment and continuing to work on behalf of Los Angeles and the American people."

LACDP Chair Mark J Gonzalez statement on the status of AB1400 in the California State Assembly

LACDP Chair Mark J Gonzalez statement
on the status of AB1400 in the California State Assembly


LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CA -- 

LACDP Chair Mark J. Gonzalez issued the following statement on the status of Assembly Bill 1400 - "Guaranteed Healthcare for All" in the California Legislature: 

"While it’s disappointing that AB1400 did not get a vote today, I continue to remain optimistic that when we do pass single-payer, we will do it with a stronger, focused and affordable piece of legislation that our state and it’s 39 million people deserve. 


For the past few months, we’ve been leading, engaging, and working side-by-side with Democrats all across the state. We led the charge by supporting resolutions, the creation of a Countywide Taskforce, a County Chair’s Challenge, and more to talk about what’s at stake in the fight for Cal Care. We provided a framework to success when it comes to providing healthcare access for all Californians.

As the 5th largest economy in the world, we have an opportunity to show the nation just how our Golden State continues to put the needs and health of our communities first and I look forward to that continued fight."
