Seven City Council Candidates Face Pico Rivera voters this November


The Pico Rivera City Council election line-up has been set.

Incumbents David Armenta and Ron Beilke both filed, as did five challengers.

Former Pico Rivera Mayor E.A. "Pete" Ramirez, who served on the City Council for 10 years, and 17 on the El Rancho Unified School Board, is the best known of the challengers.

Others running include Luis Alvarado, an insurance agent and political consultant, Planning Commissioner Gustavo Camacho, Martin Morones, a government verification officer and Raul Riesgo, a marketing consultant.

Alvarado is very active in Republican Party politics, serving as Chairman of a group called the "Republican National Hispanic Assembly of Greater Los Angeles," and is a member of the Latin American Insurance Agents Association.

BEILKE UNDER DA SCOPE!
Councilman Beilke has been the subject of an intense investigation from the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office. His house, business and city hall office were the subject of a raid from the DA's Office of Public Integrity less than 2 months ago. No charges have been filed as of yet by the DA's office, and the investigation is still underway according to published reports. Belike is backing both himself and Camacho in this campaign.

Lots of developments behind the scenes are happening...
Stay Tuned, this is going to be WILD!
