Anthony "A.J." BayneAnthony "A.J." Bayne

The LA County bar Association calls him well qualified while the other two candidates are only qualified, and everything I trust, endorses him

In this three-way, we recommend you vote for Anthony (A.J.) Bayne who has 30 years of experience, including extensive work as a public defender. He received a “Well Qualified” rating by the Los Angeles County Bar Association, is recommended by La Defensa, and has endorsements from multiple judges, the ILWU union, and Metropolitan News. Another option is Sharee Gordon, who has served in the LA City Attorney’s office for more than 25 years, after working as a school teacher in Watts. The third candidate, David DeJute, has the backing of more conservative elements like Rick Caruso and “Thrive” as well as the County Democratic Party.

Recommended. 30+ years trial attorney experience; Well Qualified rating by LA County Bar; emphasizes due process and dignity.
