ELECTED & COMMUNITY LEADERS

Eleni Kounalakis
California Lt. Governor

“We need Christy Smith in Congress. In the State Legislature, Christy proved herself as a bold, effective representative on behalf of her constituents, working to provide PPE and economic aid to frontline workers during the pandemic, combat climate change, fully fund public schools, and ensure our economy works for everyone. There is no candidate in the race more qualified or better equipped to lead the charge in Washington, and I know she will take that same drive and unyielding commitment with her to represent the people of California’s 27th district.”

Shirley Weber
California Secretary of State

“Christy Smith has deep roots in the 27th Congressional District. She has the background, experience and proven record of delivering for the people of this community. Most importantly, she believes in democracy, in protecting and expanding voting rights, and in building a better, stronger America, for all of us. I am pleased to endorse Christy Smith for Congress. She is the best choice for CA-27.”

Rob Bonta
California Attorney General

“I’m proud to endorse my friend and former colleague Christy Smith for Congress. In the State Legislature, we partnered on a number of important measures, including our legislative package to improve public education. Her dedication to improving the lives of others and deep compassion for her community makes her an excellent representative. It’s critical we get her elected to California’s 27th Congressional District.”

Betty Yee
California State Controller

“Christy Smith is a proven champion for the people of the 27th Congressional District. I am proud to endorse Christy for Congress. From standing up for our American democracy, to fighting for working people, protecting healthcare and ensuring clean air and water, I know Christy is the leader we need representing CA-27.”

Fiona Ma
California StateTreasurer

“Christy Smith has demonstrated herself as a force for good, a leader for people across the 27th District and a champion for women, working families, seniors, immigrants and young people. I am proud to support Christy Smith for Congress because in Washington she will defend our democracy and work tirelessly for the people of CA-27.”

Ricardo Lara
California Insurance Commissioner

“The people of CA-27 deserve a representative who believes in democracy, in science and facts, in equality, and in social and economic justice. Christy Smith is that leader. She is battle-tested, fearless, a bold voice and someone who will bring vision, compassion and inclusivity to Washington. I am proud to endorse Christy Smith for Congress because I know she will fight for justice for all people, regardless of who they are or where they come from.”

Tony Thurmond
California State Superintendent of Public Instruction

“Christy Smith is a champion for public schools. Her background and record as president of the Newhall School Board and in the California State Assembly demonstrates that she is not only extraordinarily qualified to serve, but that she will also be a force for good in Congress. I know that Christy will work hard in Washington to ensure that we invest more in our public schools so that our students can get a world-class education and our classroom teachers and school employees can receive the pay and benefits that allow them to thrive and live a good middle-class life. Christy has my full, enthusiastic support.”

Adam Schiff
U.S. Congressmember

“Christy Smith is a proven leader who has delivered for her community time and time again, which is why I am proud to endorse her for Congress. I am confident she will bring the same effective approach and common-sense agenda to Congress to address the challenges facing the people of California's 27th District, as well as our nation—including reproductive rights, climate action, gun safety, cost of living, and protections for our democracy. The 27th District will greatly benefit from Christy’s bold leadership, and she has my support 100%.”

Gavin Newsom
California Governor

“The people of California’s 27th Congressional District deserve a representative who shares their values and will deliver on the immense challenges facing us. That’s why I’m thrilled to endorse Christy Smith for Congress. Throughout her career, Christy has proven herself as an effective leader who has delivered for her community— addressing the increasing wildfire threat, investing more in local public schools, and passing common-sense gun safety measures. I know that in Congress, Christy will continue to be a powerful voice for her district who is committed to advancing innovative climate action, codifying reproductive rights, cutting costs for working families, and defending our democracy. I’m with her 100%.”

Alex Padilla
U.S. Senator

“I'm proud to endorse Christy Smith for CA-27. A longtime advocate for our community as a state legislator and local education activist, Christy is a bold, accomplished leader who will champion solutions to the most critical issues of our time, including codifying reproductive rights, passing urgent climate action, enacting common-sense gun safety measures, defending our democracy, and confronting the rising cost of living for working families. I look forward to helping Christy get elected to Congress, where she will tirelessly fight for a better future for all Californians.”
