Endorsement: In a crowded field, Holly Mitchell is the best choice for county supervisor (via latimesopinion)
Los Angeles Times editorial board endorsements for the U.S. House, California ballot measures and more.
Mitchell grew up in the district, near Exposition Park. She spent much of her early career working to advance the interests of children and families, eventually becoming CEO of Crystal Stairs, a well-regarded child and family service and advocacy organization. After winning a seat in the Assembly in 2010, she’s now in the state Senate, where she chairs the Senate Budget Committee.
Other candidates include Jan Perry, a former Los Angeles City Council member who advocated for fiscal prudence at a time her colleagues were misspending. After her council tenure she led economic development and infrastructure agencies. Both are appealing candidates but fall short of Mitchell’s accomplishments and vision for the district. Many of the others in the race have something to offer but are not ready to be supervisors. Especially in this county, where each supervisor represents 2 million people and where the board oversees a $30-billion budget and essential services for the most vulnerable, these seats are not entry-level positions. They require experience, vision and a record of success.
