L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti is being criticized for avoiding a mayoral debate tonight where ten candidates are expected to attend.
Garcetti’s campaign spokesman says the mayor is skipping the debate because none of the candidates he’s running against have a large base of support.
“I mean, if that’s not the biggest bunch of crap ever. Come on.”
Mayoral Candidate Mitchell Schwartz is accusing the mayor of only pursuing his own agenda.
“It’s quite clear that he doesn’t want to be here and he’s going to run for governor and senator. If he wins again, he’s going to turn around, run for governor and senator. He doesn’t care about the people of Los Angeles.”
The debate is being held at the Sona Sotomayor Learning Academies and begins at 7. Doors open at 6.
