“I’m running on behalf of East Bay children and working families to push open California’s door of opportunity for communities that have for too long been locked out. The pandemic has further exacerbated systemic inequalities, while exposing once again the precariousness of so many people’s livelihoods. I am ready to go to Sacramento to fight for our East Bay communities and ensure Californians of all backgrounds get a fair shot.”
Today political leader and voting rights activist Stacey Abrams announced her endorsement of Mia Bonta in the special election to represent California’s 18th Assembly District, citing Mia’s leadership experience and willingness to take on tough fights.
"Mia Bonta is the progressive leader we need,” Huerta said. “As a daughter of activists, Mia understands what it means to fight for those without a voice. I'm endorsing Mia Bonta for Assembly because she will put working families first and be a champion for affordable housing, public school funding, labor rights, and bold climate action. Let's send her to Sacramento so she can get to work!"
"As a daughter of activists, Mia Bonta understands what it means to be in the fight for justice," said UFW President Teresa Romero. "Mia is known as a progressive champion for working families and we know she will continue fighting in Sacramento for more affordable housing, investment in our public schools, bold climate action, and protections for farmworkers. The United Farm Workers are proud to endorse Mia Bonta for Assembly and I look forward to working with her for our community."
