Mitt Romney to Speak in North Hollywood Wednesday

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney will be making a campaign stop at the Valley Plaza shopping mall in North Hollywood Wednesday, after which Councilman Paul Krekorian and Eric C. Bauman, the chair of the Los Angeles County Democratic Party, will speak on Romney at the same location, according to press releases issued by their offices.

Bauman will speak about "Romney and his record of failed economic policies," according to an LACDP press release.

Krekorian will "deliver a rebuke to Gov. Romney by pointing out the progress now being made on the shopping center and the surrounding area after years of neglect," according to a press release put out by his office.

A call to the Republican Party of Los Angeles County by Patch was not immediately returned Tuesday.

Clark Lee, the political director of the LACDP, told Patch that the event will take place at a vacant storefront in Valley Plaza shopping mall at 6317 Laurel Canyon Blvd at 2:15 p.m.
