Mayor Garcetti Has New AD's Against Him Surfacing Los Angeles

John and Ken saw a negative ad about Mayor Yoga Pants on television and needed more information of course.

So we spoke with Michael Trujillo, a political consultant, for Working Californians and get more information on the ADs.

Here's the official press release.

LOS ANGELES —Working Californians (WCA) unveiled new television and radio ads that will begin airing in Los Angeles today. The commercials underscore the high cost and impacts of Mayor Eric Garcetti’s recent Green New Deal policy proposal. The campaign, supported by a seven-figure ad buy, launched just a day after Working Californians debuted a similar digital campaign in San Francisco at the California Democratic Party State Convention.

As the housing crisis and homelessness worsen, Garcetti’s Green New Deal would eliminate thousands of jobs and raise power rates on local families. Garcetti’s new “green” taxes will worsen traffic, drive up the cost of gasoline, and come straight out of the wallets of millions of hard-working Angelenos.

“Many Angelenos live paycheck to paycheck and the cost of Garcetti’s proposals will have devastating consequences for Los Angeles families. Our coalition supports smart policies that will transition the City’s reliance on fossil fuels but these policies must protect middle-class jobs and everyday working people,” WCA spokesperson Michael Trujillo said.
