Greuel backs Essel
City Council candidate Christine Essel picked up the backing of City Controller Wendy Greuel for the seat Greuel held and is to be decided in the Sept. 22 electin.
"My home district deserves the best, which is why I'm endorsing
Christine Essel for Council District 2," Greuel said.
"Christine is the independent candidate I trust to focus on the
details and make sure the neighborhoods of District 2 receive City
services in an efficient and effective manner."
Essel, who last week was endorsed by former Mayor Richard Riordan, said she was grateful for Greuel's support.
"Wendy Greuel has been an extraordinary representative for this
district," Essel said. "I am running for City Council to continue her tradition of unparalleled
constituent service,"

If that is what we can expect from Essel, then she needs to be shown to the curb as one of the two carpetbaggers in this race.
