Endorsements
"Especially as we confront the COVID-19 pandemic, we need a leader who has a record of working with the community to find solutions that support students and teachers and a leader who can address the toughest problems in the years ahead. That leader is Kelly Gonez. As a mother and middle school teacher, Kelly has the perspective and experience we need to continue building better schools for families in Los Angeles. I've worked with Kelly to help our youth, support our teachers and fund our schools, and I am proud to endorse her for the Los Angeles Unified School Board."
