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.
March Power Lunch with Elizabeth Barcohana
Join us as we welcome Elizabeth Barcohana, who serves as Chair of the Subcommittee for Jewish Community Engagement for the California Republican Party and a board member of the Bel Air Beverly Crest Neighborhood Council.
Elizabeth entered the grassroots political arena in 2020 to oppose Governor Newsom’s school shutdown, activating thousands of parents in the process to become politically engaged, at the local, state, and nation levels along with her.
Elizabeth’s dynamic approach and insightful commentary have made her a pivotal figure, demonstrating how one voice can catalyze significant change and mobilize voters.
