Endorsed by Dolores Huerta

I am honored to announce that I have received the endorsement of my childhood hero, Dolores Huerta, an iconic activist with a long history of fighting for the rights of working families.

The Momentum Continues... Sen. Henry Stern Hops On Board!

I wanted you to hear the news first!  Senator Henry Stern has endorsed our campaign for State Senate.  This comes on the heels of announcing that our campaign has raised over $350,000, and that labor champions Teamsters Joint Council 42 have joined many other labor champions in endorsing our working families first campaign. 

Senator Stern has been a stalwart champion for the environment, clean energy and open space! He has also been on the forefront in fighting to keep entertainment jobs here in Hollywood. That's why his support means so much to me.

A Trusted Champion for Students Backs Sara for State Senate

Right now, Californians are looking for leaders who understand our communities from the ground up. That's why I'm proud to be supported by Los Angeles Community College District Board of Trustees member Dr. Kelsey K. Iino. 

Whether it's securing resources for health science students, supporting our AAPI community through the MANA initiative, or representing nearly 1,000 faculty members as union president, her leadership reflects deep community values backed by concrete action.
