FORMER GOVERNOR JERRY BROWN 
ENDORSES SIERRA MADRE MAYOR 
JOHN HARABEDIAN FOR L.A. COUNTY 
SUPERVISOR

Former California Governor Jerry 
Brown announced his endorsement 
of Democrat John Harabedian for 
Los Angeles County Supervisor for 
the 5th District.

“In these divisive times, John brings 
the sort of fresh, no nonsense leadership 
we need. He has deep roots in 
the district and has dedicated his life 
to making Los Angeles County stronger,” 
stated former California Governor 
Jerry Brown. “As supervisor, John 
will tackle the tough problems head-
on and fight for working families. I'm 
proud to endorse him.”

“I am humbled to have Governor 
Brown’s endorsement,” stated Mayor 
John Harabedian. “Our County and 
Country are in a state of crisis. We 
need new leadership to tackle homelessness, 
end gun violence, and solve 
our climate crisis.”

Mayor Harabedian’s campaign is 
barnstorming across the 5th Supervisorial 
District, securing grassroots and institutional support from Congressman 
Tony Cardenas, the Los Angeles County Democratic Party, the Democratic Party of 
the San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles League of Conservation Voters, ACT, Foothill 
Community Democrats, Los Angeles County Young Democrats, San Fernando Valley 
Young Democrats, and Stonewall Democratic Club. 

With less than 2 critical months to the Primary Election we really need your help 
to keep the momentum going.

John Harabedian is a proud Democrat and Mayor of Sierra Madre. He is running 
to represent the 5th Supervisorial District of Los Angeles County. John will work to 
get the homeless off our streets and back on their feet, stop the senseless loss of life 
from gun violence, and tackle our climate crisis.
