*LA City Attorney Candidate John McKinney has secured a major endorsement from the New Frontier Democratic Club (NFDC), California’s oldest Democratic Club.
Throwing their support behind McKinney was the result of weighing his qualifications against his opponent Marissa Roy. McKinney currently manages over 300 attorneys in LA’s major crimes division.
New Frontier Democratic Club, under the helm of the honorable Dr. Michael R. Davis, hosted their annual fundraiser and awards dinner on Friday, October 24th at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
The keynote speaker was LA County Deputy District Attorney John McKinney, a candidate for Los Angeles City Attorney.
McKinney set the record straight that he is a lifelong Democrat and he expressed strong objections to how he’s been falsely framed as a MAGA backed candidate by those who support Marissa Roy.

McKinney stood firm on his record of having tried over 100 court cases with twenty-eight years in public service.
He personally ensured justice for the Nipsey Hussle murder case, providing some sense of closure for the family.
McKinney cited early career inspiration from following the careers of late Rev. Cecil “Chip” Murray, the Honorable Maxine Waters and the late civil rights attorney Johnnie Cochran.
McKinney expressed his concentration on fairness in the court system and for accountability at the city level.
An enthusiastic crowd consisted of elected officials, candidates, supporters, family and friends at the New Frontier Democratic Club event.
The theme for the evening was The Power of our Past, The Promise of our Future. Honorees for the evening included Dr. Melina Abdullah (Founder of BLM Los Angeles), Cherise Bremond Weaver (President & CEO of the Brotherhood Crusade) and Sherlett Hendy Newbill (LAUSD District 1).
