TUJUNGA, Calif.””Karo Torossian’s City Council campaign is building a large, broad and diverse coalition of community leaders. Torossian this week received endorsements from Mónica Ratliff, Venessa Martinez, and Olga Ayala.
Ratliff, the Los Angeles Unified School District Board Member in the area (District 6), was also the third-place finisher in the March 7, 2017, Council District 7 (CD7) primary election, garnering 14 percent of the vote. Martinez is a Deputy Attorney General at the California Department of Justice under Xavier Becerra and was the sixth place finisher in the March 7 City Council Primary Election. Ayala is a longtime organizer in the Northeast Valley’s Latino community and also a former City Council candidate, finishing seventh in the field of 20.
With Martinez and Ayala now on board, Karo has been endorsed by the top three women candidates in the CD7 race, his opponent notwithstanding.
“I fully support Karo and hope that my supporters and those who are undecided will vote for him in May,”
