Chris Holden
Your April 2 editorial unfairly castigates Pasadena Mayor Chris Holden as someone who has circumvented the campaign contributions law. Holden has run a clean, honorable and aboveboard campaign. Pasadena has a growing Korean population whose members have strong ties to the Korean community in Los Angeles. Culturally, it is normal for that community to reach out to its home base for support on issues and candidates that they believe in. The support was at the behest of our Pasadena Korean residents and has nothing to do with Chris’ father, L.A. Councilman Nate Holden.
Chris Holden does not have affluent, deep-pocket individual supporters. Those cash cows have been throwing their wealth behind Holden’s opponent.
