Which Way, L.A.?
Candidates Vie for Harman's 36th District Congressional Seat The 36th Congressional District runs from Venice to San Pedro. Veteran Democrat Jane Harman has resigned, and 16 candidates are on the ballot for the primary next Tuesday. If nobody wins a majority, the runoff will be on July 12, between the top two vote-getters, regardless of party. Given our time limits, we've chosen the four with the most name recognition and the most resources. They are California Secretary of State Debra Bowen , Los Angeles City Councilwoman Janice Hahn , former candidate and high school teacher Marcy Winograd — all Democrats -- along with Republican Mike Gin , who is the Mayor of Redondo Beach.
Which Way, L.A.?
Primary Politics Five Days before a Statewide Election Four years ago, high school teacher Marcy Winograd moved from Pacific Palisades to Marina del Rey to challenge eight-term Congresswoman Jane Harman in the Democratic Primary. Winograd got 38% of the vote, and this year she's back again. Harmon has taken her seriously enough to run an attack ad on local TV. Although Congresswoman Harman declined our invitation to appear, challenger Winograd joins us.

Trump plays scolder-in-chief with NATO allies At the opening of NATO’s dramatic new headquarters in Brussels today, President Trump acknowledged that Article 5 — promising that “an attack on one nation is an attack on all” -- has only been invoked one time: in the aftermath of September 11. But the President failed to provide what 27 other Alliance members have been waiting for: a re-commitment by America’s new leader to Article 5. Instead, they got a scolding.
