A couple of years ago, LA Democrats demanded change, reform and a progressive in our sheriff’s department leadership. We worked to find a candidate that would bring those necessary changes, and endorsed who we believed would be a welcome change to law enforcement in LA. (1/5)

Sadly, and disappointingly so, those changes never came with Sheriff Villanueva, in fact things got worse causing our body to call for the Sheriff to enact some bolder changes. (2/5

Recently, attacks on fellow Democrats, attacks on the press, and others from the Sheriff have ramped up and we’ve called them out and we will continue to. (3/5)

Understandably, calls for the Sheriff’s resignation are also ramping up. As a leader and a progressive I know the need for major changes, as I too am disappointed in what we’re witnessing. (4/5)

As always, our central committee will go through its normal resolution process, that will be fair and transparent and I look forward to that work in holding leaders accountable or asking them to step aside. (5/5)
