CA Treasurer Fiona Ma
“I am so excited to endorse John Erickson for State Senate because he is precisely the kind of tried-and-true leader we need in Sacramento to counter the federal government denying us critical funding. As Mayor, despite the backlash from COVID, he generated a 30 milIion dollar surplus for his city while investing more in public safety, housing, and social services. John has demonstrated he is the kind of leader who can protect families, small businesses and improve the overall health of the State’s economy.”
LA County Supervisor Janice Hahn
“I am supporting John Erickson because as an innovative legislator and skilled coalition builder—across communities and the aisle—he is the right choice for State Senate. John has emerged as a regional leader who finds real solutions to regional problems. We can count on him to fight for all residents of the 24th Senate District—from the South Bay up to Malibu, down to West Hollywood and all the way to the Northwest Valley.”
LA County Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath
“As a local elected official, nonprofit executive, and lifetime advocate for reproductive freedom, equity, and equality for all, John Erickson will bring a unique skill set to the State Senate at a time when our communities are under attack. His expertise and track record on economic development, housing and homelessness, and sustainability and resiliency in the face of natural disasters are critically needed in Sacramento more than ever. I know he will be a responsive partner to LA County, and I can’t wait to see what he can accomplish for all of California.”
LA County Supervisor Hilda Solis
“I am proud to endorse John Erickson! Whether it is fighting for environmental justice, uplifting families and small businesses, or reinvigorating the local economy, John Erickson has demonstrated he is a courageous leader who stands up to the status quo time and again. He is exactly the kind of legislator we need in State Senate to make California more sustainable, more equitable, and more livable for all.”
Assemblymember Mark Gonzalez
“In challenging times like these, we need bold, steady leaders with the experience, vision, and courage to meet the moment and move us forward. I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside John for years - during my time as Democratic Party Chair, through his leadership at Planned Parenthood, and in the fight for justice with the Women’s March. In every space, he has shown up with integrity, strategy, and an unwavering commitment to protecting our communities.
At a time when we need strong voices standing up to the dangerous agenda of the Trump Administration, John has consistently delivered on the issues that matter most to our community and our state. From safeguarding reproductive freedom to advancing innovative, people-centered policy, I know he will be a powerful advocate for the 24th District.“
President, NOW—National Organization of Women Christian Nunes
“John has spent a lifetime effectively advocating for the rights of women and girls—from lobbying for women veterans and protecting reproductive freedom, to expanding the statute of limitations on rape and removing barriers in the workplace. He is the leader we need in Sacramento as our fight continues.”
