Exposing the True Nature of 'Our Culver': A Political Tool for SEIU-UHW

Let’s set the record straight—the newly sprouted advocacy group, "Our Culver", is not a grassroots movement rising from the people of Culver City. It’s a front for SEIU-UHW, orchestrated by a small group of individuals intent on manipulating local politics. Greg Maron, a high-level executive for SEIU, Stephen Jones, a sitting Planning Commissioner for Culver City, and Alex Fisch, a former Councilmember -- run off after just one term -- are the key players leading this effort, whose donations to "Our Culver" account for half of their funding.

These individuals, along with their well-known friends from within Culver City Democratic Club (CCDC) and SEIU, are currently driving a campaign to control the city. SEIU-UHW has directly donated over $25,000 in the last four years through individuals and a PAC to Fisch, Fish, Lee, McMorrin, Puza, and CCDC, essentially funding the leftist slate. In 2022 alone, SEIU-UHW spent almost $500,000 here in Culver City to fund a signature harvest campaign to put a measure on our local ballot.

The Culver City Police Department continues to diligently serve the community, responding to over 46,957 calls in 2023, with an impressive average emergency response time of just 4:14 minutes. Despite these very strong numbers that demonstrate how dedicated our police are to helping people, Mayor Yasmine-Imani McMorrin has portrayed law enforcement as harmful during her campaign for re-election.
