LOS ANGELES –George Gascón’s campaign for Los Angeles DA is proud to announce that the Stonewall Democratic Club has endorsed George Gascón for Los Angeles District Attorney. Since 1975, the Stonewall Democratic Club has been the home for evolving Democrats in Los Angeles who are lesbian, gay, bisexual person, transgender, and linear allies of the LGBT community.

“The Stonewall Democratic Club is proud to endorse George Gascón for Los Angeles County District Attorney,” said Lester Aponte, President of Stonewall Democratic Club. “George’s decades of commitment to amplifying voices in the LGBTQ people is exactly the sort of inclusive leadership we want in the largest prosecutors office in the country.

In 1967, Gascón, then 13, carried a cardboard suitcase with his mom, Maria, and dad, Marcos, and boarded a “freedom flight” from Havana, Cuba to Miami. They had nothing more than the clothes on their backs and a change of underwear in their cardboard suitcase. Within a week he and his family moved to Southeast Los Angeles and settled in Cudahy. He had difficulty study English and keeping up with schoolwork, and Gascón ultimately dropped out of high school and started bagging groceries.
Once he turned 18, Gascón joined the army and quickly became the youngest sergeant in his brigade. He would earn his high college degree while simultaneously taking college extension courses, and after earning a four-year degree in history from Cal State Long Beach, Gascón got a job as a patrol officer in the Hollywood division of the Los Angeles Police Department.
He worked his way up the ranks of the LAPD from patrol officer to Assistant Chief of Police under Bill Bratton. As Assistant Head he oversaw operations for the more than 9,000 officers in the LAPD.

29 Aug D.A. Candidate Nathan Hochman Releases Statement on Gascon’s Failure to Effectively Prosecute Detest Crimes
LOS ANGELES / August 29, 2024 – Nathan Hochman, the former Assistant U.S. Attorney General and candidate for District Attorney of Los Angeles County, today released the following statement regarding D.A. Gascon’s defeat to effectively prosecute hate crimes:

Now that he’s 60 days away from a challenging re-election, and the polling looks bleak, Gascon is trying to create the appearance that he actually cares about stopping hate. It’s too little, too late.
Gascon showed how much he cares about hate on Day 1 of his administration in 2020, when he ordered his deputy D.A.s to prevent filing hate crime enhancements – which add prison second to those who commit crimes motivated by hate of the victim’s ethnicity, religion, gender or sexual orientation. After the community protested, Gascon conceded and said he would allow hate enhancements to be filed.
