    FOR RELEASE Contact: Amy Ray JANUARY 29, 2005 (310) 429-9694 JIM ALDINGER 2005 CAMPAIGN KICKOFF TURNS OUT SUPPORTERS, BEGINS OFFICIAL BID FOR RE-ELECTION TO MANHATTAN BEACH CITY COUNCIL State Assemblyman Gordon, Former State Assemblyman Nakano Join Councilman Napolitano in Celebrating Aldinger’s Experience and Proven Leadership Manhattan Beach, Calif., Jan. 29 – Manhattan Beach City Councilman Jim Aldinger began his bid for re-election Saturday morning to the sounds of a live band and a crowd of supporters at the City’s Joslyn Center. Aldinger is one of eleven candidates vying for Manhattan Beach’s three open City Council positions, and is the only incumbent to be considered by voters in the March 8 election. Approximately sixty residents of Manhattan Beach and neighboring communities enjoyed a morning of live bluegrass music, refreshments, campaign button making, and speeches from three area government officials. State Assemblyman and former El Segundo Mayor Mike Gordon joined three-term Manhattan Beach Councilman Steve Napolitano and former State Assemblyman George Nakano in endorsing Aldinger’s record of service and his commitment to the community, urging attendees to contribute their time and donations to Aldinger’s re-election. “Jim Aldinger is a proven leader with experience as both Mayor and Councilman. Jim’s dedication to public service, the community, and the environment in Manhattan Beach is unrivaled – you need Jim back as your Councilman,” commented State Assemblyman Gordon during presentations by dignitaries and Aldinger at the hour-long rally. Aldinger has worked closely with Assemblyman Gordon in his previous role as Mayor of El Segundo, on such vital regional issues as LAX Expansion and the pending Base Relocation and Closure (BRAC) issue facing the Los Angeles Air Force Base in 2005.

Over the past decade in Los Angeles, as in many cities across the United States, ethnic activists and businesses have lobbied local governments for official designations that publicly acknowledge their presence in a neighborhood. Yet ethnic place names have been adopted predominantly in neighborhoods where Latinos represent a majority. Street and freeway signs throughout the city promote the public identity of places such as Thai Town, Little Ethiopia, and Little Armenia, neighborhoods in which the ‘official’ immigrant community is in the minority. ii Employing comparative historical and ethnographic methods, I find that demographic changes initiated by immigration reform and the social movements of the 1960’s have established a new ‘collective act’ responsible for shaping the public identity of ethnic spaces in Los Angeles.

  • Social Integration at a Public Park Basketball Court
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Who’s Got Next? Social Integration at a Public Park Basketball Court A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology by Michael Francis DeLand 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Who’s Got Next? Social Integration at a Public Park Basketball Court by Michael Francis DeLand Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Jack Katz, Chair This dissertation examines the ongoing formation of a public park as a particular type of public place. Based on four years of in-depth participant observation and historical and archival research I show how a pickup basketball scene has come to thrive at Ocean View Park (OVP) in Santa Monica California. I treat pickup basketball as a case of public place integration which pulls men out of diverse biographical trajectories into regular, intense, and emotional interactions with one another. Many of the men who regularly play at Ocean View Park hold the park in common, if very little else in their lives. Empirical chapters examine the contingencies of the park’s historical formation and the basketball scene’s contemporary continuation. Through comparative historical research I show how Ocean View Park was created as a “hidden gem” within its local urban ecology. Then I show that the intimate character of the park affords a loose network of men the opportunity to sustain regular and informal basketball games. Without the structure of formal organization men arrive at OVP explicitly to build and populate a vibrant gaming context with a diverse array of ii others.

  • California's Top-Two Primary
    California's Top-two Primary: A Successful Reform I Charles T. Munger, Jr. (Dated: February 22, 2019) This is the first of three concurrent papers on California's top-two primary, California's Top-two Primary: A Successful Reform I, II, and III; this abstract covers all three. A common summary of the conclusions of all three papers appears in III, section VI. The top-two primary yielded 80 same-party general elections in California, for the Assembly, state Senate, and U.S. House of Representatives combined, in the general elections of 2012, 2014, and 2016. Of these same-party district elections, 22 saw the re-election of incumbents running against a token opponent of their own party. The remaining 58 were highly competitive: a total of $205 million was spent in those contests; 10 incumbents were defeated. In contrast, over the not three but five election cycles from 2002 to 2010, when there were partisan primaries, an incumbent lost to a member of his own party in 1 race for the Assembly, 1 race for the state Senate, and 1 race for the U.S. House, for a decade total of 3. Of the 58 competitive same-party elections, the candidate who took second in the primary, and who would have been eliminated from the general election ballot in a system of partisan primaries, actually won 20 (34%). The number of voters who cast a ballot in these 80 same-party general elections was essentially double (1:9 times) the number who cast a ballot in the same election in the primary.

  • Local General Elections and a Special Election Were Held in the City of Los Angeles on Tuesday, May 21, 2013. Outlined Are the E
    Local general elections and a special election were held in the City of Los Angeles on Tuesday, May 21, 2013. Outlined are the election results for the Offices of Mayor, City Attorney, City Controller, and odd-numbered City Council Districts. Also included are results for the special election in City Council District 6, Ballot Measures, Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education, and Los Angeles Community College District Board of Trustees. CITY OF LOS ANGELES Mayor City Councilmember Eric Garcetti defeated City Controller Wendy Greuel 53.92 percent to 46.07 percent. Garcetti is the first elected Jewish Mayor and is the outgoing three-term Councilmember of the Thirteenth District of Los Angeles. A fourth- generation Angeleno, Garcetti won a hotly-contested election to the Los Angeles City Council in 2001, becoming one of the youngest city councilmembers in the city’s history. He was unanimously elected as Council President in 2005 and unanimously re-elected in 2007 and 2009. During his term in office, Garcetti emerged as an effective local problem-solver and as a strong advocate on citywide and national issues. He led the effort to fund the nation’s largest Affordable Housing Trust Fund, oversaw the economic and cultural revitalization of Hollywood, wrote and championed Proposition O to clean up our local water, won passage of a plan that eliminated the city’s business tax for 60 percent of all businesses, and helped bring thousands of new high wage jobs to Los Angeles and his district. Garcetti studied urban planning and political science at Columbia University, where he received his B.A.
