Richmond City Councilmember and RPA Member Jovanka Beckles has announced her candidacy for Assembly District 15. Jovanka says:
As a counselor for underserved youth, I’ve seen how the lives of our kids and their families can be transformed. As a city councilmember, I’ve seen how neighbors can organize a city from hopelessness, violence and systemic corruption to a much better future. Now I am running for the California State Assembly to help transform our state.
The RPA has endorsed Jovanka. You can read more about her campaign and make donations at www.jovanka.org.
