LOS ANGELES (KNX) – Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos endorsed businessman Rick Caruso for Los Angeles mayor, calling him, “the Democrat I’ve been waiting for.”
Sarandos’ endorsement was published in a letter on The Hollywood Reporter website. According to Julia Alexander, who shared Sarandos’ letter on Twitter, the letter was taken off the site.
“If you are tired of the inhumane way the homeless population lives in this city, the filth that goes uncleaned, the corruption city hall, shrinking law enforcement and rising crime and now, the threat of even higher taxes…vote for Rick Caruso,” Sarandos wrote.
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a full digital/mobile page takeover on The Hollywood Reporter (maybe they’ve done it before and I’ve just missed it). But here’s Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos asking people of LA to vote Rick Caruso for Mayor of Los Angeles on Nov. 8th. pic.twitter.com/GDliFru1L3
