Councilmember Kennedy Endorses Tornek for Mayor

City Councilman John Kennedy announced on Wednesday that he is endorsing Mayor Terry Tornek for re-election.

“As chair of the Public Safety Committee and the former Deputy Chief of Police for Administrative Services in Richmond, Virginia, I trust Mayor Tornek’s judgment and commitment to introducing powerful police reforms that will establish a more trusting relationship between Pasadena residents and our officers.”

Tornek is squaring off against District 5 City Councilman Victor Gordo in the Nov. 3 runoff election. Kennedy is the second sitting councilman to endorse a candidate. Last week, District 6 Councilman Steve Madison endorsed Gordo.

District 2 Councilmember-elect Felicia Williams also backs Gordo.

Kennedy, whose family settled in Pasadena more than 80 years ago from the Deep South, chairs the council’s Public Safety Committee. Last month, Kennedy and Tornek worked together on a police oversight ordinance that will create a civilian oversight commission and lead to the hiring of an independent auditor.

“As a small business owner and member of the Finance Committee, I trust Mayor Tornek’s commitment to making sure our city is fiscally prepared to handle unexpected challenges, just like he made sure we were prepared when the COVID pandemic hit,” Kennedy said.

“Some may urge voters to make a change. But I say the change we can believe is here with Mayor Tornek. He has proven himself to be the leader Pasadena needs to continue to take Pasadena forward to a better place. Terry Tornek is a fair and proven talent for this critical juncture in Pasadena,” he continued.

“Mayor Terry Tornek is the best choice to take Pasadena forward. I encourage you to vote Tornek on Nov. 3rd.”
