Candidate for Controller to Get Backing of Incumbent
City Councilwoman Laura Chick’s campaign for Los Angeles city controller is scheduled today to pick up the endorsement of the incumbent, Controller Rick Tuttle, who is being forced to give up the office by term limits.
“Rick Tuttle is a four-term, 16-year controller who has developed a well-earned reputation for integrity and being independent,” said Chick, a Tarzana resident. “So his endorsement is very significant. His endorsement is a statement of his confidence in me.”
A spokeswoman for Tuttle confirmed that the incumbent will announce his support for Chick during a news conference scheduled for today at City Hall. Former City Treasurer J. Paul Brownridge is the only other declared candidate in the April 2001 election for city controller.
