Political Endorsements for the November 3, 2026 California General Election

BY THE HONORABLE STEVE COOLEY

LOS ANGELES COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY (2000-2012)

On November 3rd, 2026, there will be a statewide general election.  Among the most important races on the ballot are the contests for judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court.  The vast majority of voters have very little or no information regarding the candidates.  Some of the candidates on the ballot are outstanding and would make an excellent addition to the superior court, and some candidates are disreputable, lacking proper temperament and, quite frankly, would be predictable disasters on the bench. Please note the endorsements listed below.

JUDICIAL (LA County):
              64: MARIA LISA GHOBADI
             65: NO ENDORSEMENT
              87: ANTHONY (A.J.) BAYNE
             131: DAVID ROSS OR DONNA TRYFMAN

JOHN McKINNEY for Los Angeles City Attorney

Los Angeles City voters will be voting for their City Attorney in November. It is important that you vote for John McKinney for Los Angeles City Attorney. John is capable and would be a good leader of that troubled and important office which is responsible in various ways for the city’s success or failure. His opponent is a radical, left-wing Soros-type being pushed by the Democrat Socialists. I urge you to vote for John McKinney and tell anyone you know who lives in Los Angeles City to vote for him.
