directly supported the LAEDC’s ability to deliver sig-
nificant impacts across the city. Her efforts to keep its
programs fiscally managed have enabled the retention

more than 1,100 businesses that generated over $226.9
million in economic output. Additionally, her work has
been crucial in securing over $19 million in state fund-
ing for inclusive economic planning that will create a
stronger economy for all residents.
