LOS ANGELES—In his first public statement following his indictment on federal corruption charges, Los Angeles City Councilman Mark Ridley-Thomas said he has “no intention of resigning” his seat and is focused on fighting the allegations.
“When I ran for City Council, I made it clear that my highest priority would be addressing the city’s homeless and housing crises, and that remains the case. There is no issue that matters more to Angelenos and to me,” Ridley-Thomas said in a prepared statement.
