One of her four opponents, Robert Skeels is holding an all day precinct walk on Saturday in South Central. No campaign events are listed on the websites of the three other candidates, Annamarie Montanez, Abelardo Diaz and Isabel Vazquez.
In Westside’s District 4, School Board incumbent Steve Zimmer is holding an all day GOTV (get out the vote)rally on Saturday in West Hollywood, while his opponent, Kate Anderson is asking volunteers to do the same from now until election from her headquarters in Mar Vista.  In District 6, which covers the East San Fernando Valley none of the three candidates, Antonio Sanchez, Maria Cano or Monica Ratliff list any upcoming campaign events on their websites. Stay tuned.
