Who will represent South Los Angeles in the California State Assembly? That’s a big question facing voters of the 57th Assembly District, which includes South Los Angeles, Southeast Los Angeles, West Adams, University Park, Florence, Watts, Downtown Los Angeles and Skid Row
One of the first candidates to jump into the race was Sade Elhewary, an educator, organizer and advocate who worked for years for the South LA based multiracial community organization, Community Coalition.
Sade is a first time candidate, but has been endorsed by tons of political heavyweights, such as Mayor Karen Bass, Supervisors Holly Mitchell and Hilda Solis, Assemblyman Isaac Bryan, and Councilmember Marqueece Harris-Dawson.
I spoke to Sade at length shortly before Christmas. about her life and her agenda . Her website info is here; https://sadeforassembly.com/
