this is very far afield from your post, but the author of the "Getting The Time To Moonlight" op-ed is Rev. Madison Shockley, who ran against Nate Holden for City Council in 1999. I volunteered on his campaign; Nate beat us in the primary. This was a project of Coalition LA, which in the previous cycle tried to unseat Rudy Svornich in CD-15 with a novel approach based on that district's unique geography: they ran candidates with roots in Wilmington, San Pedro and Watts, each promising to support the other if together they held Rudy below 50% (they didn't that year, either).
I also wonder if the Steve Knight from the Patrick McGreevy article (who uses his time off to coach youth soccer) is the same one who repped CA-25. He definitely would have been on the force then!
Madison pere moved out to Carlsbad but his sister Brenda is also very active in LA -- lots of economic development in South LA and a deputy mayor under Garcetti
It also allows them to live far away!
Did not, but unsurprised.
I did not know this

Oh wow! I did look him up but missed that he ran for City Council. His son sued LA over the cannabis licensing program!

wow, I had NO idea. They really make it easy to dislike them hey.
Also, somehow, 9/11 is to blame for this.
