Letter to Editor | Why I Endorse Mike Antonovich for State Senate

I first met Mike Antonovich over forty years ago when we both served as Reserve Police Officers for the City of South Pasadena.

Years later we again worked together when then Supervisor Mike Antonovich served as District 5 supervisor for Los Angeles County and I served as Council Member and Mayor for South Pasadena. Mike was constantly in contact with South Pasadena providing assistance from his office in many areas helping to make South Pasadena a better city.

Supervisor Mike Antonovich spoke openly and honestly conveying why Sgt. Steve Owen lost his life: AB 109 and the other Sacramento policies that release violent felons prematurely. And now they want more of the same broken policies.

County Supervisor Mike Antonovich stands with local law enforcement opposing AB 109 and Prop 57 and has a pro-active history of creating bipartisan results that protect the peace. Recently, the County Probation Department announced that Antonovich’s DISARM Program has successfully removed nearly 11,000 illegal firearms and over $720 million in drugs and illegal cash from our streets over the past 16 years.

As a former Reserve Police Officer and former Mayor I strongly endorse Mike Antonovich and urge all my friends and voters to join me in voting Mike Antonovich for State Senate.
