Pleitez & staff see best & worst of LA, prove LA is owed more

Today was a true test of what one man’s determination and dedication can do. Not only did Emanuel Alberto Pleitez put in 21 miles over his 100 mile goal, but he also gathered a group of leaders to run and bike with him across the city of Los Angeles. 

Emanuel and the run team showed up for Day Six of Emanuel’s 100 mile race across Los Angeles with a look of determination on their faces. Before the 1:00 P.M. run-start the staff talked to voters, trained volunteers on the how-tos of GOTV, and prepped for Election Day. 

Now that Day Six is done, the ebbs and flows of the trip represent Los Angeles to a tee. Some days were easy, with sunny skies, a fresh breeze and smiles all around... the kind of days where the side of Los Angeles where potential turns into execution and where the community and individual are one. 

Other days were tough, harsh, and even painful. The broken-down sidewalks shocked the run teams’ ankles. Some residential areas lacked sidewalks all together. A lot of people were shocked that a group of people was simply interested in informing them and finding out what issues mattered to them. The fact that folks in this city can be so confused, some even aggressive, by someone asking “what can the city do for you?” shows the type of leadership Los Angeles has at present. One that is distant, detached, and blind to how challenging life can be for most of the people it serves. 

We can’t continue down this path of ignorance. You not only deserve better, but you are owed better.

Please support the one person on that ballot that literally poured blood, sweat, and heart into all of his efforts to meet the residents of Los Angeles. Support the person who is doing this because LA deserves better and because LA deserves to be inspired.

Pleitez Passes 100-mile Goal on Day 5, Dances With Wife Becca, Finishes at Watts Towers

Sometime around the 10-mile marker, Emanuel Pleitez, candidate running for mayor, stopped in his tracks, grabbed his wife Rebecca, and started dancing in front of a cantina in Crenshaw. Day Five of Pleitez' 100-mile journey on foot and bike across LA sent him from Loyola Marymount University to Watts Towers, across most of South Los Angeles. 

On his way to Watts Towers Emanuel, his staff, and volunteers had a chance to talk with families and to inform voters who did not know they had options outside of current City Hall members. As the run/bike team moved down Crenshaw Avenue, passing cars honked and cheered in support, with most turning around to pick up signs and posters from the Pleitez Run Van. Hundreds of posters, signs, and pins have been donated by supporters over the past weeks. 

Emanuel racked up 15 miles running and three miles on the bike during his Day 5 trip, which pushed him over the 100-mile goal. Emanuel has biked 28 miles and ran 75, for a grand total 103 miles at the end of Day Five. 

Staff members ran and biked alongside and ahead of Emanuel, asking people to use their right to vote as a way to tell the city what they'd like to see in the coming years. The staff and volunteer team put in close to 45 miles combined. 

For Day Six, the last leg of the race on the day before the March 5th election, Emanuel will tackle 13 miles on the bike and 5.3 by foot. 

Join Emanuel today, Monday, March 4th, for the last leg of the city-wide race. The Run Van will be leaving the Pleitez HQ in Boyle Heights at noon, the run will start at Athens Park, and will end at the San Pedro Fish Market at 4:15 P.M. Click here for more details.

Pleitez Motivates Eastside of LA While Volunteers Pump Mayoral Campaign Full Of Support

What kicked off in Emanuel's childhood El Sereno home and an interview with Univision, turned into a fun day with families in a Ramona Garden's farmers market and watching the sunset during a 22-mile bike ride.

Mayoral candidate Emanuel Pleitez, his staff, and a group of volunteers ran 4 miles from his El Sereno home, across Ramona Gardens, and ending at the campaign's HQ in Boyle Heights.

Aside from a few inteviews during the day, Emanuel attended a house meeting in Pico-Union. In front of a crowd of about 30, he explained why the city's leadership cuts education everytime the budget shrinks, why he decided to run for mayor, and how he will tackle the city's issues. The great discussion was topped off by perfect carne asada and chicken drumsticks with homemade guacamole and rice on the side.

Looking at the fine details of the day, Emanuel and the run team sat around picnic tables and talked to local merchants in Ramona Gardens. Emanuel even met a fellow Wilson High Alum who played running back for the schools - Emanuel was starting QB and captain a few years later.

While biking to Venice Beach, the bike group picked up a new supporter who was biking around his neighborhood. He was excited to see a mayoral candidate who simply wanted to energize and inform voters.

Pleitez Runs Alongside New Friends While Running Into Life-long Ones

Today a very valuable lesson was learned: a few oranges and bananas, sunblock, and a whole lot of motivation makes an 15-mile run and 3-mile bike-ride from Giffith Park to El Sereno one of the best adventures an Angeleno can have. 

Emanuel Pleitez, candidate running for mayor of Los Angeles, his staff, and volunteers started Day 3 of his 100-mile city wide race at Griffith Park at 7:00 AM. From the very beginning of the day the Pleitez run team saw support from the community. Anthony, a Hollywood resident disilusioned by the city's leadership and City Hall's corruption, joined for the first three miles of the run.

Right after finishing the 3-mile bike ride to El Sereno and in the middle of the 1.5-mile stretch to his house, Emanuel ran into one of his neighbors from his childhood days. "Me acuerdo cuando era chiquitico (I remember when we was a young boy)", she mentioned. 

Soon after wrapping up today's 18-mile race, Emanuel showered and headed back to the office. He will be appearing in tonight's KCAL9/CBS2 Mayoral Debate. It will be the last televised debate before the March 5th primaries, so tune in at 8:00 PM. 

The city wide run is a continuation of the campaign's efforts, which started on July 3rd of last year. It comes down to engaging the community, learning about all parts of the city, and getting a better understanding of the specific needs for each region. 

On top of that, the 100-mile, 6-day race follows suit with the campaign's innovative tactics to engage voters all around. The Pleitez campaign wants to prove that money does not have to rule politics. The city's leadership actually needs to put effort into driving dialogue with the city's residents and engaging all areas of the city. Emanuel is doing this with sweat, hard work, and a few blisters along the way. 

Pleitez staff and volunteers did an excellent job today, putting in a combined 65 miles. These 65 miles represent the team's love, commitment, and desire to make a positive impact in the city of Los Angeles. 

This race is not just a great way to inform voters about their choices for the upcoming elections. It is also a testament to Emanuel's dedication and desire to help this city. After three days he has already crossed the halfway mark with 53 miles. Come Monday, he will have covered over 100 miles trekking across Los Angeles.

Pleitez inspires 16-mile stretch of LA while staff covers the Valley

Emanuel Alberto Pleitez completed his second day of the 6-day long, 100-mile trek across Los Angeles. Covering a total of 16 miles, Emanuel started at the Lakeview Terrace Library in Sylmar and ended at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood. The native Angeleno crossed most of the Valley and other portions of Hollywood in the process. 

After only two days Emanuel has completed a little more than a third of his 100-mile goal - crossing the 36 mile mark earlier today.

Before today's journey, Emanuel was interviewed on KFWB News Radio 980AM and then was the keynote speaker at a Latin/African American Chaplains Association (L.A.C.A.) event, where he also received the organization's endorsement.

Emanuel's 100-mile effort focuses on breaking down the physical barriers in Los Angeles while engaging all types of individuals. This ties back to his goal of re-energizing Los Angeles by engaging more voters and finding innovative solutions for the city's problems.

At 30 years old, Emanuel is the youngest candidate on the ballot and possesses the most diverse skill set and amount of experience. His goal of almost four marathons spread out over six days is indicative of how much energy Emanuel has and is ready to pump right back into the city.

Follow Emanuel along on his city-wide journey across Los Angeles on Twitter, Facebook, and through text alerts by texting the word RunEP to 90561 (Standard message and data rates apply).
