I was talking to someone the other day and they said that San Pedro would not work as a real city because there are too few leaders. However, looking at the latest Special Election form reveals Jayme Wilson, Joe Buscaino, Rudy Svornich Jr., and Pat MCosker (though I think he lives out of town right now though he is a local boy) all local people who could be mayor of San Pedro.
When you add up our leaders on the neighborhood councils, Business Improvement Districts, Port of Los Angeles, the ILWU, and the San Pedro City Council you can see clearly that San Pedro is not short of people who want to serve.
City of San Pedro. We should make that a reality, with a real mayor. The honorary mayor contest is great for our local charities. However, a real San Pedro city would provide us more of a voice in the larger Los Angeles County, and provide us more local control.
