Mike Feuer today secured one of the most sought-after endorsements in the race for Los Angeles City Attorney with the announcement that Earvin (Magic) Johnson is backing his candidacy.
Mr. Johnson's endorsement gives Mr. Feuer a hefty dose of momentum entering the final six weeks of the campaign leading up to the March 5 primary.
Widely recognized for his professional basketball, business, and philanthropic careers, Mr. Johnson’s seal of approval is coveted for anyone running for public office in Los Angeles.
An NBA Hall of Famer, former Lakers all-star, part owner of the Dodgers, Chairman and CEO of Magic Johnson Enterprises, and a leading advocate of empowering underserved urban communities, Mr. Johnson is beloved by Los Angeles’ residents.
“Mike Feuer has led a remarkable career, from serving as a lawyer directing Bet Tzedek Legal Services to his work as a lawmaker focusing on the issues that matter most,” said Mr. Johnson.
“Whether it was writing laws to promote public safety, curb gun violence, enhance children’s health, create jobs, protect consumers and seniors, or improve our schools, Mike has been a leader for all of Los Angeles. As City Attorney, he’ll keep our kids and schools safe from guns and gangs. He will work to prevent crime by expanding programs for at-risk youth. I am proud to give Mike my enthusiastic endorsement. He will work to connect law enforcement with neighborhood, business and religious leaders to make our streets safer.”
“Magic’s support highlights one of my key goals,” said Mr. Feuer, “empowering and working with neighborhoods to improve the quality of life throughout our city.”
