There are two seats up for grabs on the LA County Board of Supervisors. These two parents say the pandemic changed their views on politics and motivated them to run for office.
Each Board member has more than 2 million constituents and oversees millions of dollars. They have the power to hire or fire the Director of L.A. County’sDepartment, Dr. Barbara Ferrer. Throughout the pandemic, the Board repeatedly endorsed Ferrer’s suggested public health mandates.
She decided to run for the open Supervisor seat in District 3 now occupied by the retiring Sheila Kuehl. The Republican is running against 3 well-known Democrats: St. Senator Bob Hertzberg, St. Sen. Henry Stern, and West Hollywood City Councilmember Lindsay Horvath. Hoge is a mother of four, who is traversing the 440 square mile district in her minivan. She hands out shirts saying "super mom for Supervisor" for both adults and children. She said the van is a metaphor for the campaign. "It’s a workhorse like me.
"To find out that these five individuals have unbelievable power over 10 million people, especially when they started saying ‘You’re essential, you’re not essential, you’re not essential,’" Dalton said. "All of a sudden these light bulbs start turning on saying, ‘Woah, this is a really important gig.'"
