SENATE DISTRICT 24 — Dr. Sion Roy reported over $465,000 raised for end of quarter reporting, far exceeding most of the other candidates in the race. A familiar presence in the community as parent, education advocate, medical authority, and Vice-Chair of the Santa Monica College Board of Trustees, Dr. Roy’s campaign has gained momentum and an ever growing list of endorsers who trust him to lead the district in the State Senate.
Dr. Roy and his family tragically lost their home in the Palisades fire in January. This experience has led to him prioritizing fire rebuilding, as well as fire prevention, as key parts of his platform. As residents affected by the fires work to put their lives back together, Dr. Roy and his family are doing the same. They face the same frustrations and the same challenges, giving Dr. Sion Roy a unique insight into what is needed for families moving forward. Additionally, at a time when the Federal government has made massive cuts to Medicaid, Dr. Sion Roy is the only candidate in the field that has the experience and a plan to deal with the cuts on a state level.
