Compton Mayor Aja Brown could be running against Stacey Dash â dashing her hopes of climbing her way towards the White House.
Aja Brown made history back in 2013 by becoming Comptonâs youngest ever Mayor at 31. Last year Brown went head-to-head with the cityâs former Mayor Omar Bradley, who she defeated by securing 62 percent of the vote, securing her second term. Now her eyes are on a seat in Congress.
âItâs time to move forward. âOnward. Itâs time to finish the work. If it isnât about progress, itâs petty. Put it aside. I ran for mayor because I believed I was called to affect change. Instead of complaining, I brought solutions. Leadership requires tough choices. Progress comes at a price. You have to be willing to make tough calls and takes the hits. For those of you that have followed the last four years, you know that weâve had our fair share. But I can tell you without a doubt that this journey has been nothing short of amazing, and I give God all the glory and thank the residents from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to serve as your mayor,â she said at the time of her win.
According to TMZ, Brown has privately groused that Dash is ârunning for notorietyâ and has no relationship with the district.
âBrown herself feels itâs by no means a shoo-in that sheâll win, because of almost unparalleled voter apathy in the district. Weâre told, although she thinks the district is heavily democratic, the Republicans just get out and vote more often.â â TMZ
