by ·

LOS ANGELES, CA – The Honorable Lindsey P. Horvath has secured an important endorsement in the race for Los Angeles County Supervisor: current Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) Board Member and former Los Angeles City Councilmember and California State Assemblymember Jackie Goldberg.

“Lindsey has, time and time again, been a leader LA County can count on. She delivers real results on the toughest issues: from providing housing and services to unhoused residents to uplifting our most marginalized communities. I am proud to endorse her campaign for LA County Supervisor because I know she will be an effective leader for our region,” said LAUSD Board Member Jackie Goldberg.

Jackie Goldberg has been a dedicated champion of quality public education and working families for her entire adult life. Born in Los Angeles and educated in public schools, Goldberg taught in the Compton Unified School District before she was elected to the LAUSD Board of Education in 1983. In 1993 she was elected to serve on the Los Angeles City Council, becoming the first openly gay woman to sit on the Council. In 2000, Goldberg was elected to her first of three terms in the California State Assembly. As Chair of the Assembly Education Committee she oversaw state education budgets and authored two State Education Bond Issues that provided LAUSD funding to build new schools to relieve overcrowding. In 2019 she was elected once again to serve on the LAUSD Board of Education.

“Board Member Jackie Goldberg has been a champion for working families throughout her career, and I am honored to receive her endorsement. Students and families in Los Angeles are facing a host of challenges right now, and the County must make sure they have the tools they need to succeed. I look forward to working with educators like Jackie Goldberg to provide all Angelenos – especially our young people – with the academics, resources, and support they deserve to thrive,” said Councilmember Lindsey P. Horvath.
