Ashlee Marie Preston plans to run for the seat following the resignation of Sebastian Ridley-Thomas.
Transgender activist Ashlee Marie Preston plans to run for the 54th District Assembly Seat, which covers Century City and Westwood among other districts.
Preston threw her hat into the ring following the resignation of Sebastian Ridley-Thomas.
Preston is the former editor in chief of Wear Your Voice magazine and came to prominence last August after she called Caitlyn Jenner a “*** fraud” for supporting President Donald Trump, especially when he attempted to enforce a transgender ban in the military.
In a statement about her decision to run for office, Preston told The Advocate, if elected she would focus on issues ranging from police brutality and rape culture to trans discrimination and immigration issues.
