Los Angeles City Council President Herb Wesson announced Monday in a fundraising e-blast that he is looking to become the next 2nd District Los Angeles County Supervisor in 2020. Wesson is looking to replace departing Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas, who faces term limits in two years.
“After discussing with my wife, Fabian, and our sons, we are excited to continue the progress we have begun in my time in the Assembly and Los Angeles City Council, I am asking you to join me in these early stages of my campaign because you know where I stand,” Wesson said. “I have always prioritized making Los Angeles a better place to live, work and raise a family.”
The announcement included the launch of a campaign website and a 2020 Twitter page.
Wesson is not the only one considering a run for the Ridley-Thomas seat. Former City Councilwoman Jan Perry, and California State Senator Holly Mitchell are also said to be contenders for the seat.
