CONGRESSWOMAN MAXINE WATERS ENDORSES COUNCILMEMBER BERNARD C. PARKS FOR SUPERVISOR
LOS ANGELES—Declaring Councilmember Bernard Parks as “The right person at the right time,” Congresswoman Maxine Waters endorsed Parks for a seat on the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors before a large and enthusiastic crowd of over 1,200 supporters. Saturday’s event heralded the kick-off of his campaign and the grand opening of his campaign headquarters.
Congresswoman Waters’ support is a reflection of the growing support that Parks has generated in his campaign for the Second District seat of Supervisor Yvonne Burke who is retiring.
“Bernard has shown that he can be a leader on both business and economic development and government services for the protection of our children and our families. Los Angeles County’s 2nd District needs a strong dedicated leader who is prepared to tackle the many complicated and challenging issues we are all facing,” said Waters
Parks acknowledged the boost that Saturday’s event gives his campaign, and said that he was grateful for the support he has received. He also observed that most of the people attending the event signed-up to volunteer their time to work in his campaign.
“People are responding to our campaign because we’re offering something different. They want leaders who aren’t afraid to tackle tough issues. They want leaders who will get things done,” said Parks.
Other prominent elected officials attending the event included Supervisor Yvonne Burke, Congresswoman Laura Richardson, Assemblymember Mike Davis, LA City Councilmembers Herb Wesson, Jan Perry, Bill Rosendahl, Janice Hahn, Tom LaBonge, and former Senator Kevin Murray. Also showing support were Culver City Mayor Alan Corlin, Culver City Vice-Mayor Carol Gross, Inglewood Councilwoman Judy Dunlap and Carson Councilwoman Lula Davis-Holmes, and Reverend C. Dennis Williams, Pastor of Ward A.M.E. Church
