5th District endorsements

Former Assemblyman Paul Koretiz picked up the endorsement of the Brady Campaign to End Gun Violence in his bid for teh 5th District seat on the City Council in the March 3 election.
In a letter to Koretz, the group said it appreicated his "strong support for common sense laws to reduce gun violence, particularly your leadership as the author of the California law banning .50 caliber sniper rifles and your groundbreaking work to ban Saturday Night Specials in West Hollywood."
In other endorsements, Neighborhood Council leader Ron Galperin was supported by the Los Angeles Times, which also gave high marks to businesswoman Robyn Ritter Simon.
