To the editor: Mayor Karen Bass has endorsed Antonio Villaraigosa for governor regardless of the truth that he made millions representing the likes of Cadiz Inc. and Herbalife after his time period as L.A. mayor (“Mayor Bass endorses Antonio Villaraigosa for governor,” Sept. 9). Cadiz wanted to pump water from aquifers beneath the Mojave Desert, which might have endangered the desert ecology. Herbalife is a multilevel marketing company that preys on the poor.
Sure, I do know he’s a longtime pal, Bass, however you’re damaging your picture by endorsing Villaraigosa.

To the editor: Bass’ endorsement of Villaraigosa for governor is a large step within the incorrect route. The Democratic Occasion is at a generational crossroads. To disregard what the following technology of Democrats can supply to this state and nation shall be harmful to all of us not a part of the MAGA insanity.
