In an unprecedented move, the Board of Directors of United Chambers of Commerce of the San Fernando Valley & Region voted to endorse Bernard Parks for Los Angeles County Supervisor, District 2, this week.
It is the first time, since opening their doors in 1977 that United Chambers has endorsed a candidate for office. “The Board of Directors felt strongly about endorsing Bernard Parks in this race,” stated Stephen T. Holzer, Board Chairman. “He has demonstrated his ability to understand business issues and work with the business community which is very important to our members.”
“After discussing the candidate’s voting records, we felt Bernard Parks’ strengths and abilities offered more to the business community,” said Sean McCarthy, Governmental Affairs Co-Chairman. “His experience on the City Council and as Former Chief of Police gives him the tools to understand the issues facing the County Board of Supervisors.”
United Chambers of Commerce will encourage its members and business leaders to support Mr. Parks in the election to replace Supervisor Yvonne Burke, District 2, on June 3, 2008.
