“Young Democrats in Los Angeles are very excited about today’s election of Assemblymember Perez as our new Speaker,” said Hennigan. “This is a very difficult time for the state of California and young people are among the many vulnerable populations suffering the effects of the struggling economy, state budget shortfalls and a stubborn Republican minority that is seemingly all too eager to hold the state hostage during budget negotiations.

Assemblymember Perez is exactly that leader and the Los Angeles County Young Democrats are looking forward to working with our new Speaker to confront these challenges.”
