City Council candidate Meghan Sahli-Wells has added three major supporters within the last week:
U.S. Rep. Diane Watson (D-Culver City), the Culver City Employees Assn., and the National Women's Political Caucus L.A. Westside.
“I am greatly honored to receive Congresswoman Watson's endorsement,” said Ms. Sahli-Wells.
“From the California State Senate to the U.S. Congress, she has stood up for children, seniors, education, healthcare, and the environment.
“She has served Culver City and our country with tremendous dedication. Her inspirational leadership shows what is possible in public service.”
When the Culver City Employees Assn. gave Ms. Sahli-Wells its endorsement, the candidate said:
“I have always supported the right to unionize. So I am proud to receive the support of the Association,” she said.
Created for the unionized employees of Culver City, the organization keeps members and the public informed about Culver City government and up-to-date union news.
The board of the National Women's Political Caucus L.A. Westside voted unanimously last Sunday to endorse Ms. Sahli-Wells for City Council in the April 13 election.
“Women make up more than 50 percent of the population of Culver City,” said the candidate.
“Yet we have traditionally had very little representation on our Council. I appreciate the important work the National Women's Political Caucus L.A. Westside does helping women candidates in our area.”
The National Women's Political Caucus L.A. Westside supports the election of women to public office regardless of political party.
Ms. Sahli-Wells has already received endorsements from the Los Angeles County Democratic Party, the Culver City Democratic Club, and the Los Angeles League of Conservation Voters.
