LOS ANGELES COUNTY (September 16, 2020) – The Los Angeles League of Conservation Voters (LALCV) – supporting pro-environment candidates throughout Los Angeles County – announced its Pro-forma endorsement for Trustee David Vela representing Los Angeles Community College District, Seat Three.
“Trustee David Vela has shown himself as a strong voice for the environment, conservation, and environmental justice over the last few years as a Trustee. His commitment to the entirety of Los Angeles Community College District campuses to use 100% renewable energy by 2030 is strong and we believe with his continued leadership on the board, David will make this a reality,” said Stephanie Molen, LALCV campaign chair. “As LACCD Trustee, he will continue to prioritize creating career paths that offset climate change, and support students with the education and training to jump into the green economy.”
“As LACCD Trustee, I will continue to ensure that we are providing quality training for the good-paying green jobs that protect the environment and mitigate the effects of climate change. My colleagues and I recently implemented the Sustainability Vision 2040 Plan which creates a pathway to achieving a 100 percent carbon-free energy goal by 2040,” said the Honorable David Vela. “Through my work with the rest of the board, the District will adopt and implement a zero-waste strategy for all new construction and major renovation projects designed to increase the zero net energy performance by 2025. The plan will also improve academic programming that will train students for environmentally sustainable careers.”
