Here are the candidates for the March 5, 2024 election, according to a post on the Facebook group, Monrovia Messenger.
For Mayor:
- Becky Shevlin (incumbent)
- Larry Spicer (currently a council member)
For City Council (two positions open):
- Edward Belden
- Sergio Jimenez (incumbent)
- Jesus Rojas
- Antoinet Mushet
For Treasurer:
- Janet Wall (incumbent)
- Brad Haugaard
I have been looking but cannot find out the candidates stances. With the overwhelming disagreement about building more apartment buildings I am wondering about each candidate's position.
ReplyDeleteHow about holding the city manager and police accountable for addressing the crime and homelessness too? It’s gotten worse and they does nothing. Kids wildin at the street fair every Friday too. Also how about less chicken joints? Seems like all we have now.
DeleteIt's sad to share that I actually made a huge error when voting Spicee for council. Very poor choices have been brought about under his control every year. Obvious Jimenez is his puppet. And Odd Jimenez was elected w less votes....hmm fraud
DeleteNot quite, When Becky Shevlin was elected Mayor her City Council seat came vacant and the City Council voted to appoint Sergio Jimenez to fill her seat and unexpired term, The same scenario will play out again if Larry Spicer is elected Mayor.
DeleteId like to see Shelvin come up with a nice Communoty Center, for kids and seniors 55+.
DeleteVote for Becky. Spicy just does whatever Tom Adams and Rob Hammond want him to. At least she’s independent of the good old boys network that runs the city.
ReplyDeleteShevlin has made No Impact in the City of Monrovia. She actually believes there's no racism in the Monrovia Police Dept ??? The MPD is a racist lazy police department that needs to be shut down and replaced by the LA Sheriffs - like Duarte.
DeleteLARRY SOICER WILL DO A BETTER JOB AS MAYOR OF MONROVIA.
sorry for the typo error // LARRY "SPICER" WILL DO A BETTER JOB AS MAYOR OF MONROVIA.
DeleteChicken joints? How
DeleteAbuut those many salons. Come on need more retail stores. And Monrovia pd or sheriff's, both are the same. At least the city has more control then country sheriff
Didn’t Jiménez actually LOSE last time but got put on the council anyway by his friends instead of Sasha (who had the more votes) because they hate him?
ReplyDeleteShevlin has made No Impact in City of Monrovia Government. Shevlin actually believes that Monrovia Police Dept are Not Racist - the MPD are a lazy, Racist police department that needs to be Shut Down and replaced by the LA Sheriffs dept - Duarte contracts with the Sheriff's department with good success . LARRY SPICER WILL DO A BETTER JOB AS MAYOR OF MONROVIA. IT'S TIME FOR A POSITIVE CHANGE.
ReplyDeleteLa sheriff are the same. At least the city has more control of policies of their dept then la county sheriff
ReplyDeleteI heard one of the guys who's running for council, Edward Belden, almost got arrested for interfering during a ride-along with the MPD the other day. Has anyone heard about this? I thought council members can't be anti-police?
ReplyDeleteReally? That’s wild. I wonder if that is gonna come up on Wednesday 2/7 during their debate or when they do Q & A. Not sure where that will be but I definitely know it’s on Wednesday. If it happened around the cops then I’m sure their body cams caught it.
DeleteTo think Spicer would do better on racism is to let the fox guard the chicken coop. Spicer was called out several times for his racist terms towards Latinos. He was even confronted during a city council meeting. Yes, he apologized but a leopard can’t change his stripes
ReplyDeleteOfficer Jesus Rojas would be a refreshing change for our City Council. Imagine the value of having a councilmember who is also an experienced police officer. The insight he would provide for the safety and security of our community could in effect be life saving. He has my vote!!
ReplyDeleteJesus Rojas is an Ass Clown ...
DeleteRojas is employed by El Monte PD and killed a 37 year old schizophrenic man in 2012. We do not want a killer on your city council!!!!!
DeleteNote: According to the San Gabriel Valley Tribune, Rojas and one other officer were involved in the death of a schizophrenic man in 2012. Both officers were cleared of any wrongdoing by the District Attorney's Office.

DeleteMONROVIA VOTERS , PLEASE READ THIS --
ReplyDeleteGET RID OF BECKY SHEVLIN - SHE IS A BLATANT RACIST. SHE SAID PUBLICLY THAT BLACK PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BECOME POLICE OFFICERS... SHE SAID IT TO ME TODAY (02/28/2024)..... THIS IS A FACT.
Who are you? - Brad Haugaard
