Westall in the Running

Andrew Westall, a Democrat, is in the running!
Don’t know much about the guy but his website is up and running. His website itself seems to denote that he’s the LA candidate. Sent from the downtown political establishment with love. Too eager to put up a website he left the “WHAT I CARE ABOUT” tab “Under Construction.” I have no idea whether or not Councilman Wesson’s district overlaps the 43rd Assembly District but if it doesn’t this candidate has little to no background or involvement in the district, besides his residency. Not saying it’s impossible just saying it’s odd. Not to underestimate him…I’ve seen the LA political machine…It’s a beast.
I did have a good laugh as a friend pointed out the following. This is a quote from his press release:
“My top priorities will be transportation, education, fire protection, and
government reform. One of my main objectives will be to build a trolley that
links the communities of Los Angeles with the cities of Burbank and Glendale,
a continuous dedicated public transit system from the subway and Orange
Line in North Hollywood to the Gold Line in Pasadena.”
Will he be fighting to protect the fires? Thought that was good…
Initial impressions not positive. You can see from the quote that his goal is to bring together Los Angeles and Burbank and Glendale. While not a horrible idea, at face value, my experience tells me that Glendale and Burbank want almost nothing to do with Los Angeles. Building bridges between communities and mass transit are good things but this candidate better have a more substantive message to the voters of Burbank and Glendale if he wants to be successful.
I can’t resist. This has been staring me in the face for a while and I just had to comment.
I like this guy. Andrew, or as his friends call him, “Sparky” has the courage to stand up for preserving one of our dwindling resources. Our Southern California natural disasters.
I may be tempting the January/February earthquake season but it has been a while since a good fun one has rolled through the neighborhood. The last one, a little while ago, quite frankly, didn’t wake me up.
We haven’t had a good rain in years to cause water to gush out of the manholes going down Laurel Canyon Blvd. (without a water main break) or a rock slide on that curly cue stretch off the 5 going to the 110. Pathetic.
It’s really dull around here without the raging wildfires. I admire Sparky for his wanting to protect preserve and defend this event that puts us on the national TEE VEE.
Michael Murphy’s “Wildfire” would make a good campaign song. I think I’ll go to YouTube right now and listen to it several times and think of the old days.
“Initial impressions are not positive.” I love it! Understatement of the year. Andrew Westall looks like he could earn work as an actor who plays a child molester in those scary movies. The gap teeth, the comb over, the shifty eyes. Herb Wesson must have no clue what Los Angeles north of the 10 Freeway thinks of Westall: Uniformly, the reaction is, “a joke.”
