Meet the Candidates! April Luncheon

At this month’s SMRWF luncheon, we’ll have a chance to meet and chat with candidates on the ballot in this November’s election!

Sheriff Alex Villanueva - Candidate for LA Sheriff

  • A 36-year veteran of the LASD and our LA County Sheriff from 2018-2022, Alex now has a deeper sense of purpose and a steadfast commitment to public service. Sheriff Villanueva is seeking to return to lead the department he dedicated his life to.

Gloria Romero - Candidate for Lt. Governor

  • As a Democrat, Gloria became the first woman to serve as California's Senate Majority Leader in 2005. 19 years later, citing the Democratic Party’s abandonment of working-class families, she became a Republican. Now, Romero is running for Lt. Governor to continue her legacy of fighting for quality education reform and restoring the California Dream.

Scott Alan Meyers - Candidate for California’s 30th US Congressional District

  • Scott built his career cutting through noise and focusing on results. In Congress, he will support Republican leadership in securing the border, restoring law and order, reining in reckless spending, and protecting our constitutional freedoms.

Joe Lisuzzo - Candidate for California’s 28th State Senate District

  • After serving his community in the private sector for decades, Joe has his sights set on bringing his skillet to public office. Joe promises to be “Your Employee,” and work hard for you, not the other way around.
