Laura Friedman Dodges Debate: What Is She Afraid Of?

In the race for California's 30th Congressional District, voters deserve transparency, respect, and a clear side-by-side comparison of the candidates vying to represent them. Yet, Laura Friedman seems to think otherwise.

Refusing to engage in a public debate with Dr. Alex Balekian, her dismissive and avoidant behavior raises an important question: what is she trying to hide?

Friedman has repeatedly supported policies that have jeopardized public safety, including her vocal backing of LA County District Attorney George Gascon. Gascon's policies have been widely criticized for being soft on crime, allowing dangerous criminals back on the streets. On top of this, Friedman has cast legislative votes that have endangered the community she's supposed to serve.

So why won’t she debate? Perhaps it’s because she can’t defend these actions.

The voters of CA-30 deserve a representative who will prioritize their safety, stand up to harmful policies, and be accountable for their decisions. Alex Balekian, MD, has consistently fought for public safety and transparency, values that are sorely missing from Laura Friedman’s tenure.

Watch the video above and decide for yourself: do you want a leader who avoids tough conversations or someone willing to face the facts and work for your safety?

Vote wisely. Vote for public safety. Vote Alex Balekian MD for Congress.
