City Council candidates Kevin de León and Mark Ridley-Thomas have declined to rule out running for mayor in 2022, drawing criticism from rivals.
School board member Mónica García has signed the pledge — the one that says she’ll serve all four years if elected to an Eastside seat on the Los Angeles City Council.
“He’s just going to use the seat as a springboard to run for mayor, and people are sick of that,” said Zamora, who drafted the pledge and is also owner of Zamora Bros. restaurant in Boyle Heights.De León, 53, is one of two L.A. political heavyweights who are campaigning for City Council yet also viewed as strong bets to run for mayor in 2022, when Eric Garcetti is scheduled to leave office.
While De León is looking to represent part of the Eastside, Ridley-Thomas is running in a council district that stretches from Koreatown to the Crenshaw Corridor in South Los Angeles. Like De León, Ridley-Thomas says he is focused on the present campaign. “That can be important in a tight race — breaking a pledge and having it used against you,” he added.
