“I am honored to receive the endorsement of State Senator Holly J. Mitchell in my race for Culver City Council,” said McMorrin. “Senator Mitchell is an exemplary public servant who has been at the forefront of progressive issues and a champion of equity. I am looking forward to carrying the torch as I fight for equity in every city policy and budget decision in Culver City.”
