“Lindsey Horvath is the only candidate endorsed by Planned Parenthood Advocacy Project Los Angeles County Action Fund (PPAP),” said Celinda Vásquez, Executive Director of PPAP. “With only 13 days to go before this consequential election in LA County, we need a leader like Lindsey who relentlessly and unapologetically supports access to abortion and reproductive healthcare. Do not believe the misinformation campaign meant to mislead and confuse voters. We’re proud to stand with Lindsey and hope you will cast your vote for her on or before November 8, 2022.”
JEWISH COMMUNITY LEADERS:
“As the leader of Jewish World Watch, an anti-genocide and mass atrocities organization, I see each day how hate speech is turned into hateful action. I am deeply disturbed to see false allegations of antisemitism made against Lindsey Horvath. I’ve known Lindsey for close to a decade and she exemplifies progressive values and integrity. She is nuanced, measured and has always been upfront about where she stands on issues. For as long as I have known her, she has stood with the Jewish community.
It is irresponsible to infer that someone is antisemitic without any evidence. Furthermore, it weaponizes hate and is divisive in a moment that Los Angeles needs to be unified. It can be traumatizing and incite fear for those of us who are feeling rocked to our core by the fervent rise in antisemitism and intolerance globally. Words matter. Reckless words can lead to devastating consequences. I call on those who funded the despicable and unfounded mailer to publicly apologize and denounce the content. Shame on you.”

“Bob Hertzberg is crying wolf at the worst possible time. I am utterly disgusted to see a fellow Jew weaponize antisemitism for dirty political tricks against their opponent when this bigotry is at a nadir not seen in half a century. Councilmember Horvath is a staunch ally to the Jewish community as someone who has long fought antisemitism and attacks on Israel’s right to exist in the progressive movement from her position on the West Hollywood City Council. Contrary to Hertzberg’s pinkwashing campaign tactics, Horvath’s also the only candidate endorsed by Planned Parenthood in this race, thus fully entrusted to protect abortion access, a critical aspect of Jewish religious freedom under assault by the Supreme Court and Republican Party. And finally, I am ashamed to see a Jewish candidate manipulate an image from an independent expenditure that Councilmember Horvath has no control over to suggest that she is engaging in antisemitic campaign tactics. Bob Hertzberg of all people should know better.”
