Supervisor Mitchell, who started her career as an advocate for youth and families at Crystal Stairs and later served in the state legislature for a decade, declared her support, saying, “I proudly endorse Sade Elhawary to represent California’s 57th Assembly District As an organizer at the forefront of the next generation of leadership, her work is focused on improving outcomes for our youth through education and eliminating inequities in our communities.
