Bill Johnson |
|
|
| Based upon our research, we were going to recommend Bill Johnson. However, the Los Angeles Times claims this candidate is a racist…although the evidence is largely circumstantial. The candidate and his campaign manager deny the allegations. However, because of the confusion, and the fact the candidate will not speak with me directly to refute the allegations, we cannot make a recommendation. |
