On March 25, Prophet Walker, who had placed second in California’s top-two primary in June 2014 for Assemblymember, 64th district, sued the winner, Assemblyman Mike Gipson, for libel. See this story. The focus of the lawsuit is a campaign flyer produced by Gibson’s campaign during the final weeks of the general election campaign.
Until that piece of literature had appeared, Walker and Gipson were in a highly competitive race. Several leading figures in southern California’s entertainment and film business had been providing substantial help to Walker’s campaign.
The primary in this district had included four Democratic candidates, and no other candidates.
