WE MET OUR FIRST FUNDRAISING GOAL!!
“Today was a critical milestone in our campaign,” according to Robert. “It was the time to report how much money I had raised. With the campaign less than a month old, we have already raised $36,000. This money will be used to reach out to voters and get our message out. And while I know that money is important in a campaign, having deep roots in the community is even more important— particularly in a race with so many candidates. We are off to a great start! Thanks to everyone for your support.”

LOS FELIZ LEDGER ARTICLE FEATURES OUR CAMPAIGN
Robert recently sat down for an interview with the Los Feliz Ledger. The article that was published pointed out that there did not appear to be an instant front runner in the race and had this to say about Robert’s candidacy.

OPEN / CLOSE

Negrete, 39, hopes the support of Atwater Village and its surrounding areas—where he has lived all his life—will help him be that candidate.

His career began as an intern in the mayor’s office where he worked his way up and formed connections, landing a job as a community organizer for Senator Richard Polanco and with then-President of the Los Angeles City Council Alex Padilla in 2002. When Padilla was elected to the California Senate in the 20th District, Negrete went along as his district director, a position he still holds.

According to Negrete his platform has three major points: public safety, jobs and city services, all of which he says must work in conjunction. He suggested using former Los Angeles Police Dept. Chief Bratton’s CompStat method of management across all city departments to ensure communities are being properly served.

“In this climate of budget cuts, we have to be smart with our money, we have to be smart with our resources, because it’s real,” he said. “Budget cuts are real. If we don’t operate and operate smart, we’re going to see some severe cuts to some of the services that my family relies on—recreation and parks, senior services, whether we get traffic lights fixed.”

ROBERT NEGRETE DECLARES CANDIDACY FOR LOS ANGELES CITY COUNCIL
Robert Negrete, a lifelong resident of Atwater Village, announced his candidacy for City Council today. He joins a crowded field of candidates running in the 13th District.

OPEN / CLOSE

For the past 10 years, Negrete, 39, has been the Los Angeles District Director for Senator Alex Padilla.

In announcing his candidacy, Robert stated, “With the support of my family, and friends throughout the district,
I am entering the race for the 13th Council District.



“I have more than 15 years of public service experience and a lifetime of knowledge about the diverse neighborhoods I am seeking to represent. I know how to lead and organize a team— and I know who to call in city departments to get things done. We have to tackle our budget problems, improve the efficiency and effectiveness of city departments, and preserve and enhance what makes our communities unique.

“I have lived in this amazingly diverse district all my life.
I know my neighbors, and they know me. With the community’s support, I will hit the ground running.
I worked for Alex Padilla when he was President of the City Council and I worked for Richard Polanco when he was Majority Leader of the State Senate. My mentors were two of L.A.’s most effective elected officials. I want to put my experience to work for the good people of the 13th District. Working together we can strengthen our local economy and our local communities.”
