With over 30 years of public service experience, Michelle Chambers has dedicated her career to creating positive change for our communities. As a City Councilmember, Michelle fought for workers’ rights, better city services, higher wages, safer neighborhoods, and more affordable communities. As an aide to Janice Hahn in Congress, she helped deliver federal services and resources to our community. And as a manager in the California Department of Justice, she worked with communities to improve public safety, protect civil rights, and guarantee reproductive freedom for all.

 

Chambers comes from a union family and is a former union member herself — so she understands firsthand the power of organized labor and will always fight for working families. Michelle and her husband Todd are both former AFSCME members, her sister is a union nurse, and their father was a 40-year member of the UA Pipefitters

 

As a Compton City Councilmember, Chambers served on the following Boards and Commissions: The Public Safety Task Force Commission (CA Contract Cities), the Los Angeles County Sanitation Board, Sex Trafficking Task Force, Gateway Cities Council of Governments, Los Angeles County Transportation Committee (appointed by Supervisor Holly Mitchell), League of California Cities, Southern California Association of Governments, and CDP 64th Assembly District Delegate.

Now, Chambers is running for State Senate to create jobs and lower costs for working families, protect reproductive freedom, and fully fund local public schools. She is the only candidate who has served Senate District 35 in all levels of government. And she is the only candidate for State Senate supported by L.A. County Supervisors Janice Hahn and Holly Mitchell, nurses, social workers, classroom teachers, civil rights organizations, Planned Parenthood, the California Federation of Labor Unions and the Democratic Party.
