Context note

The campaign filings use the name 'Fred Puza' and identify Community Relations at LMU; Culver City uses 'Freddy Puza' and LMU pages identify Fred Puza in Community Relations. CCR treats these as the same person based on the overlapping name, employer/role and Culver City identity, while preserving the source-specific name forms. LACDP's official candidate page lists Freddy Puza under Culver City Council, At Large, followed by a separate 'No Consensus' line. CCR records the explicit Puza endorsement and preserves the page's wording without inferring an additional endorsed candidate. CCR also preserves Puza's September 2020 authored Culver City Catalyst essay as a historical policy-position source. The record treats those statements as his 2020 positions and does not infer that every position remained unchanged later.
