First Partner Newsom Joins Long List of Pro-Choice Women and Organizations Supporting Horvath
Los Angeles, CA – Today, California’s First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom announced her endorsement of Councilwoman Lindsey Horvath for Los Angeles County Supervisor.
“I am proud to join Planned Parenthood and a host of women’s and pro-choice organizations in endorsing Lindsey Horvath for Supervisor,” said CA First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom. “Lindsey Horvath has a proven track record as a champion for women, for reproductive justice, and for policies that will uplift our most vulnerable communities. She is a former mayor and compassionate local leader who will make Los Angeles more just and equitable. I urge 3rd District voters to join me in supporting Lindsey Horvath for Supervisor. She is smart, honest, hardworking, and loyal and will serve her constituents well!”
Jennifer Siebel Newsom is the First Partner of California, an award-winning filmmaker, an influential advocate, and thought leader on gender equity. As First Partner, Jennifer is a voice and partner to working moms and families throughout the state – committed to creating a California for all women and California for all kids. In 2019, Jennifer launched #EqualPayCA, a statewide initiative to turn the strongest equal pay laws in the nation into the smallest pay gap in the nation. Jennifer serves as honorary chair of the California Volunteers Commission, co-chair of the Governor’s Advisory Council on Physical Fitness and Mental Well-Being, and co-chair of the California Farm to School Working Group. Jennifer was also a member of the bi-partisan national Women’s Suffrage Centennial Commission. Building on her work as First Partner, Jennifer co-founded the California Partner’s Project (CPP), a nonprofit dedicated to promoting gender equality and child wellbeing.
“I am honored to earn the endorsement of the First Partner of California, Jennifer Siebel Newsom,” said Councilwoman Lindsey Horvath. “Jennifer has been an outspoken advocate for women and for reproductive justice; she knows that when women win, we all win. On a personal level, her courage in coming forward to take on Harvey Weinstein, one of the most heinous serial predators, reminds us of what is possible when we stand up to bullies and reject the patriarchal status quo. I look forward to working with the First Partner of California to create an LA County that is safe, healthy, and affordable for every community.”
The influential endorsement comes just days before the November 8 election, in which voters will have a choice between a local-problem solver, renter, and small business owner who is endorsed by Planned Parenthood, the LA County Democratic Party, the LA Times, and environmental organizations, or a Sacramento politician who has sold California out to big oil and has been reprimanded for sexually aggressive groping of his female colleagues.
