California state Senator Holly Mitchell has one of the best voting records of any member of the legislature. Her West L.A., Mar Vista, Culver City, Ingelwood, West Adams, Leimert Park, DTLA, Crenshaw, South Central, Westmont and South L.A. constituents have reason to be proud of her-- and will almost definitely elect her to the County Board of Supervisors in November. That will trigger a special election early in 2021. The district demographics:
• Latino- 50.04%• Black- 27.90%• White- 14.05%• Asian- 6.30%
The Playboy Mansion is not in the district, but Hugh Hefner's 28 year old son, Cooper Bradford Hefner, thinks American politics needs him in office and this seat is... maybe available. And... well, who hasn't heard the name Hefner? He announced yesterday that he's running, presumably as a Democrat, though he's a Trump-hating independent. He claims that he "almost" ran for Congress in 2016 against Karen Bass. Luckily he didn't.This is his fancy (expensive) campaign announcement video. Raise your hand if you think what the California legislature needs an entitled rich white kid on the hunt for an opportunity to win higher office. Yeah, me neither.
