She has mayor Furey's endorsement. She is constantly with the Dems like Ted Lieu and others. She has the endorsement of the government unions. It wouldn't surprise me if Jimmy Gau endorses her too. It raises the question is she the conservative Republican she made herself out to be in 2014 or is she a closet Democrat. I just don't think we should take a chance. Do you remember the 1960s TV show "To Tell the Truth"? They would ask "Will the real Leilani Kimmel Dagastino please stand up".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379348459799634768.post-43405838785806457882016-02-14T13:27:30.186-08:002016-02-14T13:27:30.186-08:00I don't agree with your assessment.

That's why Leilani is kissing every butt in town whether Democrat or Republican. Are we voting for a panderer or someone with principles?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379348459799634768.post-61154982843667304362016-02-12T23:21:24.636-08:002016-02-12T23:21:24.636-08:00We want people in City government that have shown ...We want people in City government that have shown an interest in being involved by volunteering in various roles. No doubt, that's a good thing. I don't think the question is really about volunteerism. Nearly every candidate in recent elections had a strong history of volunteering in the community in some capacity or another. The real question is really whether you can be successful while being openly critical about certain policies or decisions made by those currently in power. What you see in Torrance is very few of those that aspire to office dare challenge the status quo. Those that do get burned by the establishment. Believe me, I know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
