Tell Nick Melvoin: Give Back Billionaire and Trump Backer Money
Your campaign’s deceitful mailers, funded with money from billionaire special interest groups, are disgraceful. The money that’s coming in from these special interests needs to be rejected. We’re calling on you to reject any money from Trump backers, from people tied to DeVos or to other right-wing groups. You need to return the direct contributions and publicly denounce their independent spending. The people of Los Angeles deserve it.
Why is this important?
Nick Melvoin is running for school board and one of Trump’s biggest backers in California along with a host of billionaires are pumping money into his campaign. Their money is funding deceptive mailers, misleading people about incumbent school board member and teacher Steve Zimmer's record.
As a teacher in this district, I’m disgusted that these billionaire special interest groups are influencing this election. These are people who’ve never sent their kids to our schools, but because they have so much money, they get to come in and try to confuse the voters about who supports public education.
In addition to one of Trump’s top donors in CA, Melvoin's donors include a board member for the right-wing Cato Institute who used to fund Betsy DeVos’ anti-public education PAC. These are people who want to bring the DeVos and Trump agenda to California. The Trump/DeVos/Melvoin agenda would undermine public education here in LA. These types of extremists don’t belong in LA politics.
All of these donations were so outrageous that Hedge Clippers, a group dedicated to tracking and exposing hedge fund money in politics, issues a report about our school board race.
Nick Melvoin needs to reject this money. Any direct contributions he should publicly return and he should publicly condemn any independent spending by any special interest billionaires. Their money is poisoning Los Angeles and our country.
Join me in calling on Melvoin to stop the dirty attacks funded by the billionaire and run a clean race. It’s what the voters of LA deserve.
