Appoint Eduardo Martinez to the Richmond City Council
Last election, Moving Forward, a Chevron PAC, spend over $1.1 million in a city council race to elect their candidates. Eduardo Martinez was less than 1% behind Gary Bell in total votes. Now special interests are trying to keep Eduardo from being appointed to replace Mr. Bell who is unable to take his seat.
Why is this important?
Monday February 4, 2013, the city council will decide whether or not our city will spend over $200,000 on a special election, an election that special interests have already begun spending toward having. They are doing a petition drive for a special election and a phone survey to find out who the best candidate to challenge me would be.
Richmond needs this money in their general funds for city services.
