Meet Local Hero Nominees: Rep. Nanette Diaz Barragán (CA-44) and Rep. Jimmy Gomez (CA-34)
Los Angeles,
October 7, 2019
Representatives Nanette Barragán and Jimmy Gomez fight for the rights and inclusion of their constituents every day, whether in downtown LA, South Central, Long Beach, or even at the border. They set the example of the representation we need and deserve in Congress. Jimmy Gomez both were born and raised in Southern California, each of them a child of immigrant parents who moved to California from Mexico. Representing their Southern California districts in the U.S. Congress, the two share interest in issues that matter locally: environmental and health justice, strengthening the economy, comprehensive healthcare and accessible education. |
