LOS ANGELES, CA — Antonio Villaraigosa’s campaign for Governor of California continues to build strength across communities with the endorsement of Los Angeles City Councilmember Imelda Padilla - a public servant who knows that leadership starts at the neighborhood level.

“As a lifelong Valley resident, I have dedicated my career to advancing equity, expanding opportunity, and strengthening our communities. From my early work as a community organizer to serving on the Metro Board, I’ve worked to deliver real results for working families and a brighter future for our youth. That’s why I proudly support Antonio Villaraigosa for Governor. He brings bold, inclusive leadership and a proven track record on affordable housing, education, and public safety. Antonio knows how to unite people around solutions and ensure every Californian has a fair shot to succeed.”

The momentum behind Antonio reflects a growing belief that California needs proven, resilient leadership ready to tackle the state’s toughest challenges - from defending working families from Donald Trump and his ICE thugs to making our state more affordable for everyone who calls it home.
