LAST MINUTE VOTERS: Councilman Kevin de León doesn't have the financial advantage of Rick Caruso, but considering L.A. is made up of more than 50% Latino residents – and having success in housing the homeless in his district – he’s isn't giving up.
LOS ANGELES -- Even with the final day of voting in the June 7 primary just days away, Councilman Kevin de León believes thousands of voters are still undecided on who should be the next mayor of Los Angles.Eyewitness News spent the morning with De León at La Parilla restaurant in Boyle Heights.
De León doesn't have the financial advantage of developer Rick Caruso and is trailing behind him and Congresswoman Karen Bass in the polls. "I wasn't born with silver spoons in my mouth," he said."I wasn't born into wealth and privilege. It's because of my mother's strong work ethic I am who I am today. That's why you fight until the last day."
With mass shootings on the rise and the nation debating gun control once again, De León is highlighting his work, taking on the National Rifle Association in this new ad.She visited the San Fernando Mom's Demand Action group in Woodland Hills on Friday.
