Back Lutness for Assembly
Cast an informed vote, not a "party" vote. We don't owe political parties our loyalty. They owe us. They owe us better candidates and better government. They owe us leadership. Carole Lutness, a dynamic challenger for the 38th Assembly seat, is our opportunity to restore honor to our state government.

The La Mesa Associated Student Body (ASB) class is proud to support Bond Measure SA. Measure SA will provide funds for schools for facility improvement and the construction of a Castaic high school.
