Compton residents can continue to call Aja Brown their mayor, since on Tuesday, June 6, she beat out former Compton Mayor Omar Bradley in a runoff. Brown won by a landslide, garnering 60 percent of the vote, including votes by mail. Now, she said, she will continue the work of moving the city forward.
In the June 1, 2017 Edition of The Los Angeles Sentinel we featured an Editorial story titled “Why Mayor Aja Brown Deserves Our Vote”. In this editorial the writer made certain allegations about the Mayors opponent Fmr. Compton Mayor Omar Bradley and his family that were factually incorrect and did not meet the Sentinels historical standard of excellence and was just simply wrong. The truth is Omar Bradley nor any of his family members were ever charged with any crimes related to the solid waste scandal and trying to link Mr. Bradley or any of his family members to this crime is just unfair and should have never been a part of our story.
