Horvath.\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cUnfortunately, for Senator Hertzberg, public pressure and overwhelming support from the people were not enough to overcome the wishes of his special interest backers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cState Senator Hertzberg\u2019s career in the State Legislature may be over, but our fight is not. Unless we want him to bring his backwards-facing policies and failed leadership to LA County, it is imperative that we defeat him at the ballot box by November 8 in the race for LA County Supervisor. The stakes are too high.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>AB937, the VISION Act, would have ended California\u2019s two-tiered system of justice that deeply impacts, harms, and disenfranchises members of our immigrant community. This bill failed by three votes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Councilwoman Lindsey P.
