Berman, Sherman to Debate at SOHA Meeting

Wednesday's Sherman Oaks Homeowners Association meeting will feature a debate between Congressmen Howard Berman and Brad Sherman.

Congressmen Howard Berman and Brad Sherman, both vying for the seat in the newly-formed 30th Congressional District, will hold a debate at Wednesday's Sherman Oaks Homeowners Association meeting.

The meeting will kick off at 7:15 p.m. at Sherman Oaks Notre Dame High School, and the SOHA expects a large turnout, advising residents to arrive early. 

Berman and Sherman, both Democratic incumbents in the San Fernando Valley, Berman for Van Nuys and Sherman for Sherman Oaks, have been involved in one of the nation's most high profile Congressional races since the new 30th Congressional district was formed, which includes both Van Nuys and Sherman Oaks. 

After the June 5 primary election, both Berman and Sherman transitioned into a runoff due to the new "top two" election system. The two will now campaign up until the November 6 general election.

Sherman won 42.4% of the June primary vote, and Berman won 32.5% of the vote.

As a parent who spent over 12 hours on site volunteering at CHAMPSFEST, I must say that CHAMPSRead More Parent's assessment above of the circumstances is exactly correct.

Dear Hollietiger, CHAMPSFEST2013 was an awesome experience for my child. She was there all day andRead More had the best time. When I dropped her off I saw a slew of security personnel checking bags and wanding. She told me security was there immediately and a medic on hand. Her friend is fine and is going to school Monday morning. The hammer was from a vendor. The kid could have grabbed one of the stakes from a tent or a chair. Things happen, but I trust that the school and the administrators did the right thing. It's very counter productive and irresponsible to write things when you don't know the facts. I will support and trust CHAMPS and my daughter is already looking forward to next years CHAMPSFEST.

First of all, I don't know where your child got his information but he is quite uninformed. HeRead More obviously was believing all the rumors spreading at then end of the event. The victim's skull WAS NOT "cracked open and ... bleeding everywhere." CHAMPSFEST 2013 was a public event, therefore open to the PUBLIC. CHAMPS (the school) has no control of mental competency of attendants from other schools. Security was there in droves to protect the entire venue. As far as nothing being reported that is also FALSE. The kid was NOT taken away in handcuffs. Police were there and it is confidential information that was not released to the general population and is not a matter of public record. Second of all, the resources provided by the city were there as a backup (you mentioned "2 ambulances, police fire trucks... Not really sure what police fire trucks are but that's besides the point). We wanted to make sure that in this case of emergency all bases were covered and the safety of the victim was going to be treated properly. Next time you hear about an incident, I would consider the reputation of the people who worked so hard to put on the event and let them handle the situation before posting incorrect information to the entire community.
