Tim Gaspar Unveils Endorsements from Over 100 Community, Neighborhood, and Business Leaders

Gaspar’s doubles the size of his grassroots coalition in just over a month

Woodland Hills, CA – Just five weeks after unveiling an initial list of 50 community leaders backing his campaign, Tim Gaspar today announced that his coalition of support has more than doubled, with over 100 endorsements from across the West Valley and beyond. The milestone includes a broad and growing alliance of elected officials, labor leaders, small business owners, nonprofit executives, and trusted neighborhood voices.

This announcement follows a wave of recent high profile endorsements, including Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin, Councilmembers Bob Blumenfield and Tim McOsker, and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 40.

“I’m incredibly proud of the diverse coalition standing with us,” said Gaspar. “These are people who live here, work here, and lead here—and they’re uniting behind our campaign because they believe in real leadership that puts the community first. Our team continues to grow stronger by the day, and we’re just getting started.”
