We Proudly Endorse Steven Kung!
Community Leaders
Sheila Rossi
Mayor of South Pasadena
“Local governments are being asked to respond to challenges that didn’t exist even a few years ago. We need leaders who can recognize emerging issues, take the time to understand new technologies and their implications, and turn that understanding into thoughtful, community-sensitive policy. Steven has shown that kind of foresight and judgment, and I’m proud to endorse him for City Council.”
David Almada, PhD
Former MPK Mayor and City Council Member
“Steven values the safety and privacy of every resident in Monterey Park. He would be our only elected official against warrantless mass surveillance and closing the city's cooperation loopholes with ICE.“
Brian Tabatabai
Former Mayor of West Covina
“As an organizer and former elected official, Steven has proven that he has the courage to fight against corporate interests and do what's best for the residents of Monterey Park.”

“Steven's vision for Monterey Park prioritizes our kids' future.
