David Hernandez endorses Christine Essel
Valley Village resident and Community Leader David Hernandez has announced his formal endorsement of Los Angeles City Council Candidate Christine Essel for the Special Election in District 2.
David Hernandez achieved National recognition for his efforts to allow the people to vote on keeping the Cross on the Los Angeles County Seal.
David also led the Two Year Legal Challenge against Proposition R, the measure which allowed the City Council to extend their terms by four years.
David is currently the President of the Foundation Board at Los Angeles Mission College and a Board member of the Youth Services Network.
David served two years on the Sun Valley Neighborhood Council and two years on the North Hollywood North East Neighborhood Council. He was an active participant in the formation of the Van Nuys Neighborhood Council.
David is a member of Valley Vote and continues to be a strong advocate for the San Fernando Valley.
David has spent the past months observing and interacting with both of the candidates who are in the run off election.
Having reviewed each candidates strengths and liabilities, he is convinced the best candidate to represent the 2nd Council District is Christine Essel.
“My mother has lived in the community since 1953 and Chris is the one I feel would best serve her community”.
David has also noted that with the two remaining female council members being termed out, there exists the possibility that Christine Essel will be the only women on the Los Angeles City Council. Should she fail to be elected, then there is a strong possibility there will be no women on the council. Not acceptable.
David also requested a cost analyst from the Registrar Recorder for a Special Election in the 43rd State Assembly District. According to the Registrar Recorder a “Stand Alone” Special Election will cost tax payers more than 2.2 million dollars. A combined Special Election will cost tax payers 1.5 million dollars. This is unacceptable given the current financial crisis facing the State of California and the City of Los Angeles.

I have tremendous respect for David Hernandez.
Any endorsement coming from him is not done without him doing some serious homework on the candidate.
For those of you who know David, I don't have to explain anything more.
Phil,
You are full of shit.
If the Chamber endorses, David endorses. He does not have a mind of his own.
You are far too much of a newbie to know that obviously.
His endorsement is meaningless.
One Who Knows
David Hernandez has become a feminist?
Will not that get you sent to hell David?
That's it, this will put Essel over the top.
A complete nitwit trumpeting the endorsement of an empty suit by a right wing quack.
Stop Jennderesselhole before he posts again.
Phil the anti-PC Republican is joining Hernandez in playing the gender card? Don't Republicans have ANY scruples?
And why is this important?
ahhh just shut up.
OMG. I am shocked. I was not sure if Dave would come out of his sidekick Frank Sheftel's closet and endorse Chris in his own right.
Well Dave, it's about time. Congrats on your bold move; although somehow it came a few days too late after Pete Sanchez's endorsement of Paul.
Let's put it this way, if you are a right wing Republican and you think we ought to sock it to the middle class and less fortunate, Chris is your choice to tell Valley residents, "Let them eat cake."
Dave provides us excellent guidance.
And how many people in CD2 even know David Hernandez and care who he endorses.
"For those of you who know David, I don't have to explain anything more."
For those who know Jennerjahn, I don't have to explain anything. His appoval of this endorsement means that David Hernandez is as much of a pile of shit as he is by association.
And to use the gender card is more than insulting. I'm a female who has struggled in the executive male world, and I'm more than offended.
Jennerjahn, you're straying from the Republican talking points. Remember, no quotas, no reverse discrimination, and no thinking for yourself. Quite frankly, if the females on the City Council are the likes of Perry, Hahn and formerly Greuel, (and their new buddy Essel) then I'll take the honest and competent male anyday. Takes these women and shove them where the sun won't shine, Jennerjahn. Oops, your heads already up there.
Phil, You still work here?
Well, there goes the Latino vote.
It's Paul on Dec 8th!
David is a permanent candidate and hasn't won any election that he has participated in. I think he is running for some assembly district now. He's not a strong endorsement. His only claim to fame is he tried to save the cross, and he was unsuccessful at that too! He doesn't live in District two either so who cares!
Phil, get a job so you can have some creditability.
Stop Jennderdoodle before he posts again.
To call this a non-story is an insult to other non-stories.
Chris, Phil, David, and Frank are
watching this whole campaign collapse in their face. Dale Thrush is beet red with anger, and Wendy Greuel is witnessing the collapse of her grand plan.
Dale Trash was walking for Essel today in Tujunga.
Stop him before he posts again.
David is a nice guy, but that's about it. Phil, your done. Your opinions are worthless, your endorsements are worthless, and quite frankly, you are stupid.
Higby,
Can you throw one of your infamous parties at some greasy spoon on the night of the runoff?
I refuse to attend. But if you podcast it, I will having a HUGE FUCKING LAUGH if Phil shows up and Essel gets her "executive" (yeah, right) ass kicked.
And motherfucker, will I have a bigger laugh as Wendy Greuel needs to re-engineer her mayoral plans. Looks like Dean will need to keep working because I wouldn't put money on Wendy winning the mayor's job OR keeping her Controller job unless she saves the city a few hundred million dollars.
Is it true that Paul has run out of money to do his last mailers and other announcements?
Word is that Eric has sucked up all the campaign cash and thjere is not enough left for the final push.
Can anyone confirm this?
I just wonder who this David Hernandez is who allegedly was involved in the formation of the Van Nuys Neighborhood Council. See I was an interim board member of the VNNC before BONC approval and actually led the presentation to BONC for certification and I have never met Hernandez. So I can't comment on the value of his endorsement for Ms. Essel, I can wonder who did the research for this posting.
I see that Krekorians "Hater Brigade" was up late last night and up early this morning.
Don't they ever sleep?
lol at 10.44
unfortunately many a true word has been spoken in jest.
I predicted Essel to win way back and I stand by that.
NOT BECAUSE WE NEED TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE WOMAN if termed out hahn and Perry are gone.
AND NOT BECAUSE IT COSTS MONEY TO ELECT A REPLACEMENT FOR SHREKorian.
iTS AN ELECTION, people vote what they want, and its the will of the people.
These are perverse reasons to suggest why your candidate should win. If people believe that Paul should stay in his elected position, then say that at the ballot box. And if people think Chris will best represent the district then say that on voting day.
Of course women want representation, but they get it at the ballot box. I like David personally, but he cannot be serious to quote McEnroe.
Great guy fighting Prop R, incredible effort, and then you blow it with 2 clunkers like that?
it's exactly like saying don't vote for Obama because we might have to pay for a massive investigation into the next senator for illinois.
The community activists must organize to stop Essel. Essel is Jack Weiss in drag. If she gets into office, the affected communities WILL BE INGNORED as Essel paves over the rest of the district with her developer "friends".
Hold the press ...
how the fu-- can David's support deserve any space here when Pete S. did not get a write up.
Who the f is David compared to Pete What can David bring hes Sex toy and Drug dealer could not even brake 20% in any polling place. So David brings nothing except Jennerjerk wants to write about something to support his LOVE Essel.
If this is the best that Essel has for Phil to write about then USS Vessel has just hit an Iceberg and not MILLION Dollars that the supporters of Measure B IBEW will be spending to support Essel will not help.
The most important question is Who will get less votes Daving in AD42 or Frank in the CD2 race. I say Farnk did.
Hernandez may be a bigger loser than Phil. He's a lying sack of shit too.
Kiss of death, Chris. You are so done.
5:11 A.M.
Shallman still up and drunk.
How does this qualify as a worth while story?
Yet another in a long list of David's losing causes...
-All his runs for congress, mayor, school board, college board, assembly
-saving public access, saving the county seal,saving the dome village
-Ted Hayes for congress
-qualifying guillermo huesca for cd7
-Toke Sheftel for council
the only bigger loser I can think is last place phil with only two signatures to recall villar
The Republican Party is rooting for State Assemblyman Krekorian to win as this will trigger a Special Election in the 43rd. They are not very happy with Hernandez in supporting Essel as they see this as not supporting the Republican Agenda. Given the current failure of the State Legislature, they believe the time has never been better for a Republican to win a Special Election in the 43rd.
Maybe I should run for the 43rd Republican Assembly spot when Krekorian goes to the Council.
After all I think only a libertarian Republican could win. Someone who is not a ghey hater nor a tax and spend RINO.
Please read what you write, first!
"David Hernandez achieved National recognition for his efforts to allow the people to vote on keeping the Cross on the Los Angeles County Seal."
AND
"David also led the Two Year Legal Challenge against Proposition R, the measure which allowed the City Council to extend their terms by four years."
TRANSLATION:
David Hernandez's campaigns ALWAYS lose!
It this who you want to set your clock to?
I can't imagine a more unimpressive "resume" of community activitism, namely:
I FAIL AT EVERYTHING!
3:34 please list the top 5 things you have done for the community and back it up with some facts not hysterical verbage...
For Essel
Phil J
Cheech Sheftel
David Losernandez
Augosto Soprano
Matt Dowd
Matt's friend who we can not talk about
Old DICK Riordan
DICK Alaron
LeBong
Wicked Wendy
For Krekorian
All of CD2
I just like to pick the winner.
like I did with Nuch. and Antonio I picked would win re-election a year out, regardless of the runners.
but I don't "endorse" anyone.
please discern that difference.
3:55
When I come out and make a big F-ING deal about endorsing a candidate, and include my resume (hopefully not full of losing deals like Hernandez) -- I'll send my list, just as your requested.
In the meantime, you just keep on following out-of-touch windbags like him all you want, and then wonder -- "how come we never win??"
(I'll bet you think Tampa Bay is making a GREAT CONTRIBUTION to professional football, too).
1:20, If the Republican Party wanted to trigger a special election then why did the New Majority California PAC (the largest Republican PAC in California) just spend money on some new ads for Chris Essel?
3:55 much eaiser to sit in your shorts and type hysterical rants about people who atleasts put it on the line for the community. Win or lose Chris will still be Chris and Phil will still be Phil and you will still be a hysterical nut job with one hand on the key board and the other in your.....
The New Majority is not the Republican Party of Los Angeles County. Not knowing that shows just how much in the dark you have gone.
