SENATE DISTRICT 24 — Capping off a wave of new endorsements, Dr. Sion Roy announced the endorsement of Assemblymember Tina McKinnor in his campaign for Senate District 24.
Assemblymember McKinnor, Chair of the Los Angeles County Legislative Delegation, has been a leading voice in reducing microplastics, creating more equitable housing policy, and championing working people and organized labor. Assemblymember McKinnor has also been an advocate for those affected by the January fires, bringing over $3.5 Billion in recovery funds back to Los Angeles County.
Said Assemblymember McKinnor, “Dr. Sion Roy is the kind of legislator we need more of in Sacramento: thoughtful, deliberate, goal oriented, but most of all– a coalition builder. From his work guiding LA County through the COVID pandemic, to creating new opportunities in healthcare for our young people at Santa Monica College, to the lives he touches everyday as a physician at Harbor UCLA Medical Center in Torrance, or fighting for his fellow healthcare workers as a proud union member, Sion is working hard to make sure we all are a little better off today than we were yesterday. That’s why I’m proud to endorse Dr. Sion Roy for Senate District 24, and I look forward to working with him in the Legislature.”
“I’m extraordinarily proud to have the support of such a bold leader– someone who turns words into actions and fights for quality education for all, equity, the rights of working people, and combating environmental injustices. As someone who lost their home in the Palisades fire, Assemblymember McKinnor’s advocacy for resources for fire recovery is especially meaningful to me. I am very honored to have her support in this race,” said Dr. Sion Roy.
