“Los Angeles is a city in crisis. We need a new generation of leadership that puts neighborhoods before politics and focuses on fixing what’s broken—basic services, public safety, transparency, and accountability. Tim Gaspar is a serious, capable, and committed problem-solver who understands that City Hall must work for the people. He’s exactly the kind of leader LA needs right now, and I’m proud to enthusiastically endorse him for City Council.”

“I’ve seen many candidates over the years, and Tim Gaspar is the real deal,” said Bob Hertzberg. “He brings real-world experience, innovation, and the willingness to do the hard work. Tim understands how City Hall’s dysfunction hurts our economy, has the compassion to address homelessness with both accountability and humanity, and the backbone to deliver real results. He’s running for the right reasons and will represent the Valley well.”
Robert Hertzberg, Former California State Majority Leader and Speaker of the Assembly

“As a city councilmember from a neighboring city, I’ve seen how much our beautiful Valley has changed in recent years. Families and small businesses are feeling the effects of rising crime and a growing homelessness crisis. This council district needs a strong leader who will protect residents’ quality of life. That’s why I’m supporting Tim Gaspar. He has deep community roots, real-world experience, and the courage to do what’s necessary. Tim’s steady, no-nonsense leadership will put public safety, quality of life, and neighborhood stability first.”
