Mailbag: Police respond to late-night call

I would like to thank and commend the Glendale Police Department for their service to our citizens. In the early morning hours, I noticed a man attempting to enter the apartment building across the street by climbing the outside window. We have had recent criminal activity in our neighborhood, and I did not want to take the chance of this happening again. Within two minutes of my call to 911, three patrol cars were in front of the building and had apprehended the man. It turned out that he was locked out of his apartment, but nonetheless, without the assistance from the police, I would never have known this.

Thank you for protecting our community!

Headed to the state Senate

My wife Ellen and our daughters, Bella and Sofia, join me in expressing our sincerest appreciation to everyone who walked a precinct, made phone calls, posted or tweeted a positive message, financially contributed, endorsed and sent well-wishes and positive thoughts about our campaign for the state Senate. Collectively and collaboratively, it made a huge difference for our wining effort. Thank you!

I also want to extend my personal gratitude to Supervisor Mike Antonovich for his long and distinguished service to the County of Los Angeles and the residents of the 5th District. His legacy has been stellar and there is much for all of us to appreciate in his work.

Recently, Dr. Robert Ross gave a keynote address at the YWCA Racial Justice breakfast where he mentioned that the problems, challenges and opportunities facing California and America don’t go away after the polls close and winners are declared. He is right. I’m honored to have been trusted and supported by friends and neighbors across the 25th Senate District with this amazing opportunity. I look forward to working to the best of my ability to meet those challenges and continue to make a positive difference for our district.
