A candidate for the Los Angeles City Council said she was disinvited from speaking at a student political organization at the University of California–Los Angeles (UCLA) because her views did not align with the views of the club.

LA City Council District 5 candidate Kristina Irwin said she was invited to speak to Bruin Democrats at UCLA in January—but just a week later the club told her it “will no longer be able to host” her due to differing views.
