DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES — In my post on the DLANC candidates I offered to run statements from any candidates who sent them to me. This one is from Benjamin Pezzillo, a candidate for the Public Sector Workforce seat.

If you had never heard about the DLANC or its Public Sector Employee representative until this election, you're not alone. My goal if elected would be to start a newsletter providing a gateway for information on what is happening downtown that could affect you and what DLANC is doing about it. After all, you can't have input if you are in the dark.

If you have an issue impacting your life downtown, I want to be the first and only call or e-mail you need to make. You're entitled to follow-up and if I can't help resolve your issue then you are entitled to know who can. That's my pledge to you.

Don't forget that the DLANC election is tomorrow, September 12th, at Macy's Plaza from noon to 8pm.
