Former state Sen. David Roberti, a runner-up in last week’s Los Angeles City Council election for the 4th District, endorsed Tom LaBonge on Thursday.
“He will make a good councilman, and he ran a positive campaign. That is something I appreciate,” said Roberti, who finished third among 10 candidates in the Sept. 11 election to fill the seat vacated by the death of John Ferraro.
A former Ferraro aide, LaBonge faces attorney Beth Garfield in an Oct. 23 runoff.
