Draft Garcetti movement

| | Comments (0) |

City Council President Eric Garcetti is being promoted by an independent web site, Garcetti for Mayor, to challenge Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa next year.
Garcetti, who is up for re-election to his Hollywood-area seat, has given no indication he has any plans to run against the mayor.
A couple of blogs, LAist and MayorSam, have taken note of the site.
In its initial entry, the site notes:
"Now that City Council President Eric Garcetti successfully campaigned (as one of California's 65 democratic super-delegates) for Barack Obama and has witnessed his rise to the nomination thanks to a groundswell of encouragement from supporters, can the community come out to convince Garcetti to throw in his hat for the 2009 Los Angeles Mayoral Election?"
The backers of the site, who are anonymous, say the site is "is independently operated and is not for profit. It was started by volunteers without the knowledge of Mr. Garcetti and is in no way affiliated with his office, the LA City Council, the Mayor's Office, the Democratic Party, or otherwise."
