(Los Angeles County) – The Los Angeles League of Conservation Voters (LALCV) – which has supported pro-environment local candidates throughout Los Angeles County for more than four decades – today announced its endorsement of Anais Medina for the Rio Hondo Community College Board of Trustees, Area 1 in the upcoming March 2nd election.
“Anais Medina has a proven track record of working to advance environmental issues throughout Los Angeles County,” said LALCV Board President Shona Ganguly. “We know she will use that drive and passion to address systemic barriers for students.”
Serving the diverse communities of El Monte, South El Monte, Whittier, Pico Rivera, and Santa Fe Springs, Rio Hondo Community College is often the first stop in a student’s educational journey. Ensuring environmental justice and equitable access to higher education with clean, state-of-the-art, sustainable learning spaces are critically important to ensuring student success.
“I am honored to receive LALCV’s endorsement and to know that they stand with me as there has never been a more critical time to elect climate and environmental justice champions. As a Rio Hondo College Board Trustee, I hope to be a champion for students, staff and faculty, and protect the vulnerable communities the District serves from the threats of pollution and climate change,” said Anais Medina, candidate for Rio Hondo College Trustee Area 1.
