LAUREN BUISSON
CA DEM Delegate, Echo Park Neighborhood Council Representative
As a decades long community activist, I've observed too often how little we see of incumbents between elections, and how callously uninterested they are in our exploding housing costs,our lack of access to health care, or our diminishing quality of life. I support Mia Livas-Porter because she lives in our neighborhood. Mia is running to improve life for her children and ours. She didn't move here to advancement her political ambitions but is raising her family alongside ours. As a mother, Mia knows that being an Assemblymember, like parenthood, means showing up regularly and with purpose, care and commitment. Vote for Mia. She will show up for us 24/7 not just on election day. Mia is the devoted leader we have earned.

Mia Livas Porter is the progressive leader that our communities deserve. I volunteered for a progressive candidate the year that Wendy Carrillo was first elected, and there hasn't been enough momentum to unseat her.

I first met Mia through our advocacy work for gun sense in California. What connected us was a shared desire to make the world a better place for our families. Mia’s heart and passion for others combined with her ability to create positive change in the world has always been inspiring to me. When she told me she was considering running for the California Assembly I could see her so clearly that role and the good she could do for the constituents in her district. I am proud to know Mia, and heartily endorse her to represent the 52nd District. No other candidate will take on this position with the care, knowledge, and dedication to public service like Mia will undoubtedly do for the district.

I have seen first hand Mia's hard work as an activist for gun violence prevention and suicide awareness. I know she will bring that fierceness, compassion, and dedication as an Assembly Member representative, to bring real, positive change for her constituents
MICHAEL DAURIO
AD53 Elected Delegate
The words 'genuine' and 'responsive' rarely come to mind when thinking about political candidates, but those are the first two words I use to describe Mia. Mia deeply understands the issues that affect our community because she has first-hand experience of the failures caused by politicians who treat their positions of power as career advancement instead of public service. Mia has been serving her community and directly impacting people’s lives in meaningful ways long before she decided to run for office. This is why I trust her to give us a voice and listen to our needs, and we would be fortunate to have her fighting for us in the state legislature.
