Mayor Sam Candidate Endorsements: Box for CD4

This is the next in a series of posts where JoeB and I will give our endorsements for candidates for LA City Council and School Board.  Where there is agreement we will give the official MayorSam endorsement to the candidate. Next up is CD4.  For each post we will give both Joe's endorsement and mine along with our comments.  The choices in CD4 are:

MEMBER OF THE CITY COUNCIL, DISTRICT NO. 4 *

•  TOMÁS O'GRADY, Small Businessperson/Environmentalist
•  TOM LABONGE, Los Angeles City Councilmember
•  STEPHEN BOX, Producer/Writer/Businessman
•  None
•  Other: 
  

JoeB: Stephen has the wind at his back, and has been outstanding on the campaign trail. He's everywhere, he knows what he's talking about, and his campaign staff is very impressive. He would be a welcome fresh face on the Council.

Michael Higby: Stephen Box is the most exciting new leader in Los Angeles.  He gets community and knows how to build coalitions.  He has ideas that Los Angeles has long been in need of and could really be the galvanizing factor for a new kind of LA.

Verdict: Box for Council.  No need to even discuss the other two guys.
