Palos Verdes POA Press Release re: Endorsements
Palos Verdes Estates Community,
As we enter the final weeks of this 2024 election cycle, we want to update you on our endorsements. The Palos Verdes Police Officers’ Association proudly endorses Derek Lazzaro and Craig Quinn for PVE City Council.
Both Derek and Craig have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to public service and leadership. Derek has served as a dedicated city Planning Commissioner, while Craig brings a wealth of experience as a business executive and active member of various local committees and boards. We are confident in their ability to be strong advocates for public safety and to foster a continued partnership between the PVE Police Department and the residents of our community.
Dez Myers, the third candidate in the race, chose not to participate in our 2024 City Council candidate endorsement process, so her candidacy was not considered.
We stand firmly behind Derek Lazzaro and Craig Quinn for PVE City Council, and we look forward to a fair and transparent final two weeks of the election.
Lastly, we want to address recent defamatory claims suggesting our endorsement was part of a “quid pro quo” arrangement. This is categorically false. There were no promises made, nor any money exchanged. Our endorsement is rooted solely in our confidence in Derek and Craig’s collaborative approach and proven leadership.
Stay safe,
Sean Crisfield, President
Palos Verdes Police Officers' Association
